Try removing your memory card and soft reset. See if the performance is better without the memory card in it. I observed slow performance once because the memory card had corrupted files on it. The manilla was attempting to scan for music and photos, but got hung up on the bad files. The fix for me was to do a scan disk on the memory card and let windows fix all the corrupt files. If you put the memory card back in the phone and connect phone to your PC in disk mode you can have windows scan the memory card by right clicking on the drive letter in windows explorer-> properties-> tools-> Check now.
