iOS: can click speed be improved?

Description

If you run this simple app on Android and iOS you'll see that the click event on Android fires quicker:

const win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
win.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
	console.log("click")
})


win.open();

I briefly looked into the iOS code and found: https://github.com/tidev/titanium-sdk/blob/2f1212fd9e46a4a8aeae0af7a850aaa7bff34e52/iphone/TitaniumKit/TitaniumKit/Sources/API/TiUIView.m#L1612-L1621

If I add another

else if ([touch tapCount] >= 2 && [proxy _hasListeners:@"click"]) { ... }

and fire a click event inside that I can click the window a lot quicker and receive click events on iOS. Has this been done on purpose?

Workaround is to use singleTap on iOS

Expected Behavior

Fire click event as fast as the user clicks

Actual behavior

small cool-down between the clicks is needed on iOS.

Reproducible sample

const win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
win.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
	console.log("click")
})


win.open();

Steps to reproduce

• click the window and watch the logs
