Picture heavy pages (like some of the SF picture posts) can also be sluggish in loading, and often won't load some pictures. I know memory is an issue because my iPhone 4 can load and hold in cache more pages with more pictures than the iPad, and the iPhone has 512 MB of memory compared to the iPad's 256 MB. The CPU I've noticed is taxed especially when multitasking, and when you have a large media library. I've been seeing more lags recently after 4.2, and I'm not sure if that's related. I know people have been claiming that 4.2 makes their iPad faster, but it's made mine a bit sluggish. I also don't like how they've moved the orientation lock switch away from the side to the screen. The mute switch also doesn't behave very logically --- it makes sense for a phone because you want to mute your phone's ring, but it doesn't make sense for a tablet computer. Anyway, I'm hoping for a doubling of everything when they release the next gen iPad. More storage and memory alone would make it a compelling upgrade for me. --Andre
