Very slow touch release with UiAutomator2 driver in native android application

See original GitHub issue

The problem

Very slow touch release with UiAutomator2 driver in native android application. In example delay between press and release is 100ms:

--> POST /wd/hub/session/session-id/touch/perform
[HTTP] {"actions":[{"action":"press","options":{"element":null,"x":785,"y":807}},{"action":"wait","options":{"ms":100}},{"action":"release","options":{}}]}

With UiAutomator driver delay is about 100ms, but with UiAutomator2 driver, the delay is more than 1000 ms.

appium-uiautomator2-server@3.7.0 has been published, and is available in the latest beta. In it a setting, trackScrollEvents, can be set to false to get the speed improvement. This will mean, however, that the tracking of scroll events is not possible.

I agree with a cap (and/or setting). Though I would tend toward a opt-in one (e.g., trackScrollEvents).
