The lag on the home button is caused by S Voice. Because S voice is activated by double clicking on the home button, it cannot act immediately on a single click because it is waiting to see if you click again. Disable s voice and the home button becomes really responsive. This has been the case for multiple samsung devices.
I just disabled S Voice to check and it made no difference? Just as quick and responsive as it is with it on.... weird, I'd be annoyed if I had 1-2+ second lags lolThe lag on the home button is caused by S Voice.

I still don't know what lag some people are seeing, and if there is, why are some affected and others not? I press home button and in a split second it goes, same for multi, it's almost instant. I have a iPhone 5 and 5S and it's just as responsive as those two. i don't know how others are seeing a 1-2+ second lag between pressing stuff, my friends S5 isjust like mine. I used the M8 at my AT&T store and a friend has an M8 and it's basically the same as far as responsiveness. Using GoLauncher Prime right now.
I would take my phone right back to the store if I experienced what the OP is and some others.
This probably means nothing but a tried out a lot of S5's before buying and I found that the black one always outperformed the white one. It wasn't by a huge margin but it was noticeable to me.
I haven't seen any lag like anything described in the OP.
This is my first Samsung device ever so I'm not a fanboy. It's just as fast and responsive as the M8 I played with in Best Buy before ordering this phone. Now having said that, while I have all my apps installed I haven't deviated from the stock home screens yet and I'm using all the stock apps except the video player, which I've substituted with MX Player.
Oh, I'm also using Screebl Pro so may be why I don't have my screen shutting off in the middle of videos.
If I were the OP, I'd swap that phone out...for anything else. I wouldn't put up with that from a flagship device.
There isnt a need for screeble when you check the box for screen stays on while looking at it.
No lag here and certainly no 2 second delay for recent apps. But then again, I'm sure it's just because I'm a Samsung fanboy who's in denial.
