Slow Scrolling on Ace Text Editor For Mobile Touch Screen Devices

Question

I'm trying to get The JavaScript code editor ACE to work on a mobile device.

var editor = ace.edit("editor"); editor.setTheme("ace/theme/twilight"); editor.getSession().setMode("ace/mode/css"); 

You can find the full code here

The vertical scrolling does not seem to respond at all for any mobile device and it's lagging a lot. How can I make it more responsive?

As far as I'm aware, codemirror hasn't had any performance issues for ages, so try to use that. Here's your jsfiddle but with codemirror instead: https://jsfiddle.net/DerpMarine/j54gfecL/16/
