The 8-incher has a slightly faster processor, but its also got 66% more pixels to handle (I don't know if it has a separate graphics processor?).

However, given the way its slow, I suspect the problem is too little RAM and the six incher probably has the same RAM.
I helped one person at my library with her Fire tablet. I also found it to be less responsive than more expensive Fire tablets as well as more expensive tablets like the iPad or the Nexus 7 I used to own. For children, this is probably a good tablet. However, if I had to use it as my go to tablet, the lag would drive me nuts.
