When you are testing, I hope that you do not have any other apps running in the background. Your cycling app should be the only app running when you are testing. The more apps that you have fighting for CPU time, the more your app has to share. If the programmer has a poor parsing routine, it will take more time to get a point plotted on the map and a longer delay in displaying the data on the screen.
I've used Cyclemeter a bunch for Android and it's really good.
I recently switched to IpBike for a few small improvements:
1. Had the option to dim, but keep on, the screen after a few minutes, so saved batteries.
2. Can auto start after you've gone a certain distance. This is handy with gloves on in the winter.
3. The GUI isn't quite as nice IMO, but is more customizeable which is nice.
But Cyclemeter is really good too. I'd recommend it to anyone.
