What do you do with jQuery-mobile? It's performance is very poor, you should never call it on elements bigger that required. See this discussion about jquery-mobile for details. It is doing very large number of DOM search operations because it works by modifying the DOM tree. As for my tests, it works too slow even on desktop browser.
