Answer 1

I recently had an issue with mobile safari crashing on web-app pages containing a lot of images (30+ were enough) and a few transformations for the menu. After a lot of trial and error, I settled with a solution similar to what LinkedIn does, but for infinite scrolling using angularjs. I used requestAnimFrame and two expanding/shrinking divs (with js style attributes) on the top and bottom of the list to remove all image containers (with other stuff overlayed on top) except for a few ones which are close to the viewport. Scrolling performance (native, no js) is fine and memory consumption is in check.
