I concur with willyjay. I didn't keep my stock VZW ROM long enough to really test it, but I'm pretty confident I never saw the kind of lag you seem to be experiencing. I upgraded from an HTC Fuze, and as much as I loved that phone at the time, it did experience some app bottlenecks you describe (though your situation sounds worse).

On the other hand, my TP2 has been blazing fast for everything, so I suspect something is wrong with your set. One caveat, I did have the 6.1 stock ROM and never upgraded to the 6.5 stock ROM, partly because people warned of laggy response times.

I flashed straight to MightyROM and have been extremely happy with it. You need to read up, but everything you need to know is here on the site, and it's not that difficult in the end. Don't suffer with Android-envy, bro...no need for that.
