I'd have to agree. After much tweaking its usable. 720p video runs fine as long as I turn off everything and use a task manager to kill all background apps.
3d gaming still has its ups and Downs tho....

Has anyone running ics tried the force gpu rendering option??
The task killer shouldn't help too much in principal. Because the complaint is the processor...not the ram.
If all this is related to the way the ram is optimized...then the tegra has been bashed for no reason..lol
Has anyone with problems tried the supercharger v6 script? Or the ram settings in aokp...I don't have lag and I can watch my movies with dice player..so I don't know what to tell you guys.

Forcing GPU rendering in ICS seems to have no effect on performance in these non samsung ROMs.
It may be the way the tegra uses the RAM. It wouldn't be the first time a CPU/chipset had a broken memory controller.
Its not really about how slow or fast the device is at opening apps, its about how slow it is to scroll. Apps open fine and anything that needs raw CPU power is ok, its just scroll speed and responsiveness. It seems in the rush to make gaming good they forgot about 2D completely or broke it.
In theory Tegra 2 has more FLOPS than Exynos, but it doesnt seem to feel that way. We cant even say its down to manufacturer tweaks as both this tab and Exynos devices are Samsung. Its almost like Tegra is spinnings its wheels. Its a big overweight V8 with a cheap diff and no grip. Exynos is a smaller turbo in a lightweight body with an LSD.
I have no problems with my tab. Running CM9 and no overclock, launcher I use is ADW ex. Tab is fast en smooth, no problems with freeze or lags. Youtube works great and browser (dolfin browser) work fast to. Quadrant score on benchmarkt 5000. I am verry happy with this tab. I don't understand that some people have problems with this tab.

You will only get 5000 in quadrant in a tegra device with the well known cheat (which is sometimes built into ROMs). The REAL score will be 3000 at most. Besides quadrant tells you little about how fast a device is.
I agree that it CAN be smoother than stock, but its never what i call smooth. Ive tried CM9, its NOT buttery smooth.
I love my 8.9. I had an Advent Vega, then an iPad, then went for this tab, and to be honest I love it, I mean I find it way better than iPad, and other Android tabs I've used, but then I don't spend a lot of time meddling with home screens and stuff. I love some of the Samsung stuff, like the Social Hub, I find it fantastic, and I always use the overlay Calculator. I also was never a fan of the cheesy TRON look Honeycomb goes for with its dark blue gradients so I appreciate Samsung's white&grey re-skin. Most of all though the form factor, shape, size, weight etc. is ideal. I can see where you're coming from but I am very happy with this thing, I saw an iPad 3 today and had no interest in it thanks to this thing!

Care to elaborate on what tweaks you made?
Yeah, the things (like most tablets) are a mess in the stores because customers fill them to the brim with crap.
