Just how much of an issue it is seems debatable, but then you can say that for any of the various issues that affect ereaders. Personally, I'd have more of a problem with the continual firmware tweaks that fix some issues, but ignore or introduce others. I also don't like the fact that using kepubs seems to help with page turns as I don't want to have to use another format, but here are Amazon doing the same thing with their font improvements.
I have owned a Glo HD (which was slow) and I own a Aura HD (which is not slow). HarryT has owned an H2O I believe and he did not complain of page turn speeds at the time.

I've owned Sonys (Prs-600, 650, T1 and T2) and I can't say I noticed them being faster than the Aura HD.

Page-turn speeds on the Aura HD are fine with epubs as well as kepubs. You don't need to use a proprietary and unecessary format to access advanced topography features on the Kobo. They work fine and have worked fine for a long time on epubs on a Kobo. No page-turn lag except on the Glo HD (in my personal experience).
