Thanks for your help.
I cannot say what the T1 would be like rooted. But the reason the T1 is sluggish is that it's using old slow hardware with not enough RAM (the memory to run the programs and read the books) and the processor is slow. The only way to get a faster device is to replace the T1 with a faster device better able to handle what you want handled.
