I never used stock 6.5 but heard it was buggy/slow. If you're not opposed, flash a custom rom and give that a shot. I'm on Mr. X's 6.5 and running Cookie Home Tab and you can mod your home screen quite a bit. Take a look around in the themes forum for the TP2 and look at cookie home tab and also mods by Santod, they'll help you clean the screen up good, but I'm not sure about on stock if it will help the sluggishness that much. And welcome aboard the site!
