I find that sarcasm/irony/humor on an online forum seldom is a good idea. They have a rule in norwegian radio that goes along the lines of 'what you say isn't important, it's what people hear that matters.', and the use of comedy in a forum often tends to set people of on bickering tangents from what the thread is really about.
I absolutely love my PB. I use it all the time. regardless of that I still experience heavy instances of lag, where the PB is completly bogged down and in a semi-freezed state. Just like the OP describes it.
My PB is running .358, 132 apps,1040 songs, 50 videos and 21 Gb free space.
If somebody have any tips on how to improve the performance of my PB, I'm all ears. If not I'll just wait for OS 2.1 which I hope is right around the corner.

07-28-12 07:16 AM - Yep, I love my PlayBook, but it does take darn near a full 4 seconds to open Contacts, Calendar, Mail, AppWorld or the Browser for me using OS 2.1beta.
The only lag that I have ever had with either of my PBs (started with a 16gb then got a 64gb) was with 2.1 beta and typing in a dialog box such as in CB forums, the letters/words sometimes (very rare and random though) don't appear at first until hitting the return key. 
I too am sorry to hear some are having issues such as those listed by the OP, but I too have many, many apps (some sideloaded), tons of music, videos, pics and lots of various work files (which is why I upgraded to the 64gb version). I also remember many BB phone owners complaining about various issues over the years that other owners did not have with their phones. Some of these issues were solved with reboots, wipe and reloads, etc. I have also not had those issues with my BB phones that some had and others did not, obviously I have/had the ones that everyone has/had such as a sucky camera on the 99xx phones which is not really an issue for me because I have a digital camera for pictures as well as the PBs cameras. If some of those issues had existed with my PBs or my BBs it might have pushed me to other devices which I have or did have in the past such as Android tablets and iPads, but the PB still has more of what I want/need in a tablet and my BB phone still has more of what I want/need in a smartphone so I will stick with it and deal a nearly 2 second delay if that is what is necessary to have what I want/need overall in a tablet.07-28-12 09:50 AM - LOL It has never been or ever will be a paperweight. I just find it impossible that anyone that owns one never ever experiences any lag. I also find it impossible that android and iOS never ever lags.So, do you keep your pb paperweight face down or face up when NOT using it for anything productive? Or maybe you stand it on edge for a challenging exercise in dexterity?
07-28-12 10:15 AM - I have a friend that uses theirs just for a portable browser because they like the size of the PB compared to a 9"-10" tablet or a smaller smartphone device. They only check email, some twitter, little facebook, stream some music or occasional videos with it, no apps, no bbm, nothing stored and never use the camera, seems like a waste to me, but each to their own I suppose.So, do you keep your pb paperweight face down or face up when NOT using it for anything productive?

- Again, I think it some of it gets down to perception. What "lag" is to one person may be perfectly acceptable to someone else. 4 seconds to me is a blink (I have a lot of patience apparently
) - to someone else, it may be an eternity. I think each person has to first decide what is acceptable to them and then whether the Playbook is enough for them or it's time to move on. I do think each device will have its own shortcomings. Hopefully BB10 will be enough to satisfy the harshest of critics...but knowing human nature, I doubt it. 07-28-12 10:42 AM - Its beyond me and i cannot understand why its first resort of some persons. Instead of trying to play "two can play that game" i find its easier to ignore some of the snarky comments on here and read the few meaningful contributions to the duscussion.I find that sarcasm/irony/humor on an online forum seldom is a good idea.

The term lag in some instances may be subjective and can be as a result of numerous factors. Hence why i don't mention page load time, or blue bar hitching at 90%. However, if you know what the response rate is suppose to be versus what it is, then you can determine that there is lagg. Swiping down from the menu in the browser window, switching between tabs, closing a tab, clicking an app, typing on the keyboard, clicking the battery indicator ... these are all actions that should trigger immediate resposes, however, in my case they sometimes do not... and for me, That is lagg.Last edited by digtech; 07-28-12 at 12:17 PM.

If there is anything worse than anti-RIM trolls, it's the Baghdad Bob fanbois who refuse to admit that there might be problems.
In any event, it's not just lag in the loading time. As the OP and others have mentioned, there can also be problems with the responsiveness of the keyboard and the icons on the upper right of the home screen. Those problems have disappeared for me since I did a wipe last night. But the fact that I had to wipe is completely unacceptable.07-28-12 08:24 PM
