Other than reducing the number of books on the device, there probably isn't anything you can do until the next firmware version comes out.
I did a factory reset, side loaded firmware 4.6.9960. I synced to get the few books I have through the Kobo store. Everything seemed to be working fine. No lag in any of the menus or submenus.

I then side loaded the rest of my library with Calibre and the new class 10 SDcard. The problems returned.

I went back to 3.19.5761 and everything worked fine. I guess with 4.6.9960 there must be a point between 4000 books and 6437 books where this problem starts.

I know I could never read all these books, but I like having them on the Kobo. I use a random number generator to choose what book I will read next and get to read books I would normally skip.

Thanks for you input, davidfor.

I'm really quite happy with 3.19.5761, but when new versions come along with new features I get tempted.

By the way, I noticed no difference in performance or response on my H2O with the Class 10 micro SDcard over the Class 2.
