HHHmmm, I think most long time TP2 Sprint users would say that the 6.5 upgrade was definitely better than the old 6.1. The stock roms run very well in either regard. You sound as if you have either a bad flash of the rom or another app causing you issues. The phone is seemingly as responsive or better as it was with 6.1 , especially running some apps such as mobile shell. Much smoother. I definitely think that we could have done without some of the bloatware but if that bothers you, thee is a rom or two out there that is stripped down for Sprint . I notice that most of the commentary that agrees with you seems to come from rather new users ( at least it appears that way).
Bottom line is , I think you have a different issue other than the ROM itself causing you to freeze. Either a reflash or maybe an app you have installed is causing the issue but I think most users have had no freezing issues with the new 6.5 from Sprint.
