My phone is quite slow..ive had older phones with much better performance. What gives?
Well, we can't help you without you helping us by giving some specifics. Is the phone rooted? running a custom rom? If so which one?

Running mean rom currently. Was running viper rom but that was much worse

Coming from a Atrix 2 mine seems much faster.
Never felt slow for me, take a look at what apps are using up your RAM.

I agree with this ^^^
I had this happen to me when I had my Photon. After about a week, I couldn't deal with it anymore. I fully wiped and reflashed everything, and I worked like a champ after this.
Another time, it keep freezing up and rebooting. It did it about 10-15 times a day, and I couldn't figured out why. It drove me crazy. After reading on xda that it maybe a bad app, I started removing the apps I had installed around the time it started. Once I removed the problem app, I never had an unexpected reboot again. I would have never believed an app could reek such havoc, but they can. Uninstall your apps one at a time, and see if the speed improves. You may have one not playing nice.
Hope this helps. Good luck
Did it run slow while it was stock? Maybe you have a bum unit.
Looking at the usage and it seems like the Android os is using about 2 gb itself each month. Is that because of the stock apps refreshing? Weather too? I remember on the old evo I had the same refresh but the Android os never used this much.

It depends on what info it syncs, how much of it, and how often, I haven't ever tried to keep track but in an interview with Hesse he claimed that average user used about 2GB a month...seemed like too little at the time and now I'm wondering if this is what he meant lol

So here's what i did, because i dont like apps being remotely installed without my permission.
Go to root of your phone>system>app and rename Google play services which is now called gmscore.apk to gmscore.apk.bak or simply delete it. Hot reboot your phone and you can now uninstall the Google settings app the way you would any app.
Doing this breaks all Google apps... Sneaky google

Hey guys so I just upgraded to the s4 and for some reason it seems laggy and slow . Now I did install safe strap root and flashed hyper and jelly but there was a lag feeling to it compared to my note 2. Titanium takes longer to restore same number if apps and even adding a gmail account its has some lag. So I went back to stock rooted to try this. Anyone else have this happen? I thought the s4 would be faster than n2.

I have gotten as high as 29000 something or other without overclocking the CPU. I think I was on Hyperdrive. I'd think vanir would smoke. That is one fast rom. Just did a run of that benchmark on eclipse 2.0. I have very modified kernel settings. Aimed @ a mix of battery and performance and scored 26500. Underclocked CPU.

Officially? No, it'll be locked down like any other release. After that? Who knows, we'll just have to wait to see if someone will be able to do it.
What kind of lag are you experiencing exactly? Mine used to stutter a lot more than it does now... here's what I did to fix mine:
1) Freeze/uninstall all bloat of course
2) In Dev options change all window animations to .5 (or off if you want)
3) Turn off Lock Screen animations (water drop/light effect) <--- this made the biggest difference oddly
4) Install Nova launcher and don't use too many home screen widgets
5) (Optional) I use a program called Clean Master which will clean up junk files and cache for you
My S4 still isn't completely lag free, it does still stutter from time to time during heavy multitasking but I think that's just the nature of a heavy skin like Touchwiz running in the background. Unfortunately I have ME7 so comparing it to AOSP is out of the question right now (I don't really want to run Safe Strap at the moment).
There are also other things I haven't tried like Greenify-ing apps and whatnot, but for now I'm happy with how it's acting.
Opening apps up and unlocking phone was laggu for me. I'll try what you suggested. I'm hoping I can either trade my phone for a mdk version or 4.3 becomes unlockable

I'm not sure. I doubt it. I have been hopeful that a dev is sitting on an exploit waiting until the 4.3 update to release it so there is not a opportunity to patch it. But as far as I know right now there is no exploit for the me7 boot loader and no prospects on the horizon.

My wife has a S3 and I also had one before I upgraded to the S4. Initially this phone felt slower to me too but after rooting and installing a stock debloated rom it seems plenty fast. I rarely notice any lag at all....maybe after about 10 days without rebooting. My wifes S3 is SLOW as heck now which is really strange. I tried factory resetting it and last weekend flashed it in Odin...still slow.....her phone is insanely slow compared to mine.

Yeah, maybe my expectations were too high. I was running bonestock and it was the smoothest experience I had. But, the occasional home button lag, super slow dialer, and choppy performance during some game play and scrolling made the overall experience disappointing.

I know it's fun to bash Touchwiz but I think a lot of lag issues still hide under Android itself... I'm hoping to see good results with the TRIM feature in 4.4 (not sure if it's in 4.3?) to totally get rid of lag across all Androids.
I completely agree with you though, Touchwiz is bloated and heavy and I prefer stock Android over all others.
Will I be disappointed? Will it blow me away?

If you have much free ram on android something is wrong. Android is based on Linux and it runs faster with the ram as full as possible.

Hey, think what you guys want. Haha
There's a reason they keep including more ram in phone's. But hey you guys know best right?
Hahahaha. K.
More free ram will always allow for more multitasking and a snappier opening of apps. If you geniuses want to run your phone's bogged down to ahead. More running processes also loads the cpu.
There's so much wrong in what you guys are saying it's not even funny.

I would take Houstonn's PA 4.0 over CM. I use PA as my daily driver and I don't see any bugs. FYI, I use my G2 as a phone, meaning Emails, calls, sms, internet( for info search only), gps, lite YT and all of these work just fine for me.
Can't complain with mine....coming from L920.....very fast, running with Buckeye 2.1....mostly stock, just debloated.....LG G2 has come a long way from the LG G2x...I hated that phone mostly due to the poor battery life....and the crashes and reboots.....gave it to my son then passed on to his mom, the ex-wife, but surprisingly, she's still using it.
