[Q] Lag on a brand new S III - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought my S III less than a week ago. As of now, I have maybe 4 games, 1 launcher and 2 apps that I've downloaded that I did not get with the phone. I've done nothing else to it other than that and running CF-Root. My problem is that while the games and ther apps run without any lag whatsoever or almost unnoticable ones, when I try running a PSX emulator or an N64 emulator, the phone nearly hangs with almost absolutely no response to touches and I'm forced to go home and shut the emulator down. Apart from that, I've begun to notice a minor lag while pressing the back soft-key as well. Nothing major, but it's still noticeable. Anything that I've done wrong or is there something that I should've done when I got the phone and haven't till now?

The emu may have a compatibility issue with your phone.

Where? In an app, on launcher, ...?
Back as going to another menu in the same app or back for quitting the app?

Oh...Is there any other emulator that has a confirmed compatibility with the phone?
In the launcher. I've tried Go Launcher, Apex and TW. Going back into the launcher from any app has a lag. And the lag persists when in the dialer as well.

I _think_ you have found the much-discussed Redraw-issue.
The launcher takes up some memory and is removed from Ram when Apps and/or Linux need/want the memory, so it has to rebuild itself when you're going to it.
Several custom launchers have the configurable ability to remain in memory so they do not succumb to this effect.
I don't know if there are any that are proven to work with S3 but they should.
Does the _exact_ same game with _exactly_ the same emulator (version) work with other phones?

I use N64oid and Psx4droid as emulators. I saw their implementation on multiple phones on youtube and took in the emulator after recommendation from multiple users on different phones. The games I chose from the site based on the highest downloads for that version of that emulator.
As for the Redraw issue, I don't think I understand. Well, I get what your saying, but isn't the 1GB RAM and a quad core processor supposed to prevent that from happening- the running out of memory? My roommate has a Galaxy Wonder and it's faster at times. {I'm sorry, but I'm a real n00b at this. I'm interested in this stuff and I do try to learn, but I'm just a beginner}
