Hmm 4.3 seems quicker to me, well... it
is quicker - measurably so... I'll tell you why.
One game I have on my iPad is Geometry Wars: Touch. The first of the many game modes is basically a 3 minute countdown - score as much a possible in that time frame. Except that pre 4.3 the 3 minutes was closer to 4 in realtime. Now, with 4.3 installed, the game runs noticeably quicker. The timer now runs to 3 minutes exactly. A consequence of this, is that I can never attain the high scores of before because of the reduced time.
Now read into that what you will, but Apple did
something to speed up some underlying processes in iOS and, to me at least, it's visible ie Google Earth renders a bit quicker, web pages appear faster etc.
I've found it helpful to clear down the fast application switching app list - ie double press home then kill all the apps that appear - they may not be multitasking but it seems they take up resource. Too many, I've found, and Garageband won't load. Soz for being soo off topic.
