I experienced some of the same things, apps causing FC that I never had issues with and the sluggishness, and ended up reflashing and it made all the difference. Not sure why exactly that's been the case for many of us. I've been reading a great deal on home replacement apps and finally made the jump to Pandahome. It seems to run a bit quicker and I love all the theme customizations I can make with it.
