Fascinating... I never heard about this side-effect of disabling zoom! I did some googling and from what I can tell, this only applies to some Android browsers, not iOS?
If that's the case, it seems like throwing out the baby with the bathwater, since it does have the accessibility issue and removing the delay can be better-achieved on ALL devices with some of the JS libraries that others have linked to.
