A while back I did a post on the choppiness of mx:List scrolling and a mx:Repeater work around FTW(For the Win).  Well in Flex 4, the List component will be FTW out of the box!!!  Meaning, smooth scrolling item renderers!!  It looks like the Flex SDK team has spent some time improving the quality, scrolling, and layout of item renderers.  Here side by side are the examples from a Flex 3 List compared to the same code in a Flex 4 List.  Check out the difference!
