That's correct, the higher the resolution, the more pixels you have to push to the screen, so the more processing power you need to manipulate those pixels (and also greater bandwidth). When you have too many pixels to push to the screen (because you are redrawing the same area multiple times), you may not be able to do all the processing in your allotted time (16ms for 60Hz) or you may exceed the available bandwidth and then you get lag. That's why newer devices come with faster and faster GPUs, so they can handle high res screens, up to 2560x1600 as we have on the Nexus 10.
