Impressive!
It seems you're a natural for the Edge.

I don't find my EE slow at all. I don't know what phone you have, but compared to my husband's Flytouch2 10" tablet, Edge is really faster.

My suggestion to check if the slowness you detect is normal or buggy, why don't you video record a short live session where we could see how long it takes to do things,
and upload it somewhere, then post the URL here. Those who have PEs may watch the video and check with their devices if yours is as fast/slow as them or if it behaves differently.

I haven't read complaints of slow behaviour here... so insist and recheck, just in case it's a bug in your unit or in your system.

[But of course, if I compare my EE to my Quad Phenom PC, yes, it is slow ].
Good luck and enjoy your experiments.
