What font are you using? The change that is most likely to slow things down when reading is the change for the font used for the "Publisher Default". This has changed to larger font that will probably take more memory. And as the Glo has very limited RAM, this could slow it down. The font was previously "Georgia". If you try that now, it might be better.
Thanks for this. I was using Amasis, I did change to Georgia and that made it pretty snappy for a while. But then it became very slow again, like 8s to turn a page.

From what I can tell it seems to happen as soon as I encounter a picture in a Pocket article (I haven't had a chance to start a new book since the new firmware, only reading Pocket articles). After an image is displayed, it becomes very slow.

If I go to another article, it's back to snappy, until I'm encountering an image again...

These are not especially large images, like 600x450 on the original article.
