I agree with this comparing my V3 and V5 side by side. The V5 is always faster, it reaches the "flash" faster and to my eye the black reversal phase is quicker (or less apparent). However, the difference isn't a factor of two - it is at best 25% faster.

When I press the page turn button less than 2 seconds after the screen has refreshed, there is no lag of that length for the next refresh. This behavior does not happen on the Kindle 2.

I do see a difference between the V5 page turns in quick succession and after a few second pause, but I don't see it as dramatically different as in your case. I agree, though, that is should not be slower than the Kindle 2. I am used to the V3's page turn time, so perhaps it is slow and I have adjusted. It is the time for the "flash" that typically matters because I find that a can anticipate the delay and hit the page advance early.
