I'm not going to make any claims about the Kobo devices being fast, but I've never seen 10 seconds for the long press menu. Checking my Aura ONE just now, and it is probably just over a second. Similarly, opening the library list and scrolling through it works fine. This is with about 4000 books on the device. There was a firmware release recently that had significant performance problems, but, the problems were not in the areas you saw and you would have been extremely unlucky to see a Kobo device running this firmware.

Other than that, the Kobo Aura ONE or H2O Edition 2 fit your requirements.
