Description
### Description
Scrolling performance will be slower when using remote iOS simulator from Windows machine.
**Affected test cases:**
All test cases
**Note:**
This cannot be reproduced on a not remotely connected iOS simulator (9.0.50 & 9.0.40 & 9.0.30).
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Deploy https://github.com/rachelkang/recipeSearch or [ManualMauiTests - Repos (visualstudio.com)](https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/Pkgs/_git/VS.TestAssets.Xaml?path=/Assets/Projects/ManualMauiTests) to an iOS simulator from your windows machine.
2. Go to any page that you need to scroll the contents.
3. You will see that the scrolling performance is significantly slower compared to the scrolling performance in the iOS simulator on your mac machine (not remotely connected).
Actual Behavior:
Scrolling performance is slower.

Expected Behavior:
Scrolling performance is smooth.

### Version with bug
9.0.50
### Is this a regression from previous behavior?
Not a regression, the issue also reproduces on 9.0.60-ci.main.25162.1 & 9.0.40 & 9.0.0 & 8.0.100 & 8.0.3.
### Affected platforms
iOS
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by deploying the recipeSearch reproduction to a remote iOS simulator from Windows and compare scrolling with a locally connected Mac simulator. Trace the scrolling path used by the affected pages and identify the remote-only bottleneck. Done means scrolling is smooth remotely without regressing local iOS behavior across the listed versions.
