Do you get the same results without Nova?
Are you saying the hardware on the Nexus 7 is old and irrelevant? It's the current Nexus 7" tablet.
1) yes there is no lag on any launcher, Nova is just a good choice for this test because it has the same apps/widgets configuration as AOSP launcher
2) I am not saying the Tegra 3 in the Nexus 7 is "irrelevant". But it is not in the same performance class as the Snapdragon S4 Pro in the Nexus 4/Optimus G, or the Snapdragon 600 in newer phones.
It is disappointing that newer versions of Android have performance issues on my Nexus S. But the newest two generations of smartphone processors at least are showing incredible performance on jelly bean, whether nexus or not.
