If you're talking about scroll events only firing when you release your finger from the screen I can't see this being changed any time soon.

Apple want to keep scrolling responsive at all costs and definitely wouldn't let those pesky JS developers make Mobile Safari appear slow and laggy.

That's what I'm talking about, yes. And I really don't get the logic of it- it'll fire scroll events while the user's finger is down, but then immediately stop as soon as they raise their finger - so I can't see how responsiveness would lead you do that.
