I had my Touch for 5 months also and I did experience the sluggishness, but this only seemed to happen when the indexing files accumulated. I did a lot of transferring and removing of books via Calibre and never used the kindle itself to remove books from the device. I think this threw the device for a loop because the index files were not being removed. Once I cleaned out my indexing folder and let it re-index (I did this once a month) the sluggishness went away. Though I did notice if I had more than 750 books on the device this affected the speed as well. When I say sluggishness, I am only referring to page changes, I rarely used the menu so I didn't pay much attention to the speed changes there.

I have since replaced my Touch with the K4 because my second Touch died on me. They both have pros and cons and I do not like one more than the other, though I will say overall the k4 works better for me because I can use Calibre to manage my collections, something I could not do with the Touch. But for individual collections adjustments and typing notes, I find the Touch much more user friendly, at least for this user. The keyboard on the k4 is not easy to use, luckily I do not type that many notes.
