Problem: After touching an activated element and constantly moving your finger without releasing for a minute or so, performance starts to degrade.

Cause: Touchy stores data for a touches entire lifespan until it is released. So upon release from the screen memory is cleared and performance is once again normal.

Solution: Simply don't store the entire touch lifespan and expose the data as it is generated so that developers can decide on their own wether or not they wish to store it.
