4. app takes a long time to load
5. scrolling thru books is choppy

Then yes.

Interestingly enough, the app syncs with my online library and kobo slowly but completes most of the time ... just annoyingly slow ... so slow you think its on a 300baud modem

If this is a past problem then it feels like bad regression testing.
I feel your pain mate... it was a known issue with the original Kobo; to get the software to respond quicker to your inputs you needed to have the reader connected at the same time.
There is no resolution for the slow downloading of books from the kobo server via the software; to avoid that you could try the calibre software (i never touched the kobo software again after using calibre).

Interesting that this has popped up again; it'll be interesting to see if its an isolated case.
