I read these forums most everyday, but rarely post my opinions. Although, what has happened to my phone since App World warrants a post.
I am one of the .75 holdouts, for no better reason then my phone has worked great. I've had the phone since launch, updated from .65 via OTA to .75 when it was released. Throughout that entire time I've had almost no problems, not one random reboot, everything functioned the way it should. Sure, it wasn't as fast as it could be, there was still the memory leak, and the very occasional display issue. Nothing that my daily morning battery pull while in "The Office" didn't cure. Overall it was a very stable device.
Prior to installing App World I had:
Google Maps
Gmail
Facebook
Weather Bug
Since App World I added:
Shazam
Poynt
Since yesterday I've had two random reboots, the phone is definitely "slower", opening applications often takes more then one try (not responsive on first click), and display issues and more of a lag switching from landscape to portrait. I know my free app memory is fine (daily battery pull).
Again, prior to App World I had no issues with the device. Has anyone else experienced a decline in performance since installing App World? Please Share...
I'm now going to delete App World along with Shazam and Poynt, I'll post again later if this helps.
And lastly, I apologize for the long winded post, it took a while to finish my coffee.
Well there have been numerous threads about .75 not being able to handle App World, then again the same thing has been said about all the current OS's, beta and official. I guess it might be time for me to break into the beta world.
I have .113 and my app world works fine it probablyis .75 because my wife still has it, and the speed comparison between my phone and hers is crazy wish I would've upgraded sooner

After my initial post I went ahead and deleted App world, poynt, and shazam. The phone now seems "back to normal". The lag and unresponsiveness experienced after the install are now gone.
Unfortunately, I don't know if ti was App World, or on of the apps that caused the issues. Didn't have time to test now. I'll probably reinstall App World later, but for now there was nothing there I really wanted anyway.
I wanted to clarify my OP. This issue wasn't about memory. My app mem started in the 30's initially after a battery pull and would leak to 20 by the end of the day, still more then enough to run smoothly. It did the same thing prior to installing App World.
My main concern was the random reboots I only saw after App World (never happened prior). The lag and unresponsiveness just added to the frustration.
