ALL the comparative videos show SGS II beeing marginally faster in some cases and SLOWER in other.
What cases is it slower?

Some webistes opening, sometimes Maps, usually coming back to homescreen which seems slow in SGS II.
Yeah right.
i think arc is worse than gs2 in performance,but arc is more beautiful, that's enough
Claiming the Arc is better based on looks is stupid.
Which phone is better depends how you define better. Better for me means more refined, original, and fun to use. Arc takes it there for me. It wont be better than the s2 for someone who defines better as newer tech and higher specs. Likewise, even by my criteria, someone may find different things nicer to use.
Neither phone is intrinsically better than the other. I cant be the only person to realize this surely?

Arc after update has no single battery problem.I would have to say that xperia arc is really fast...I turned on wifi downloading a movie, music and either playing a game or watching a movie...no lag at all.
I got S2 in the end tho...because some of the arc devices have a battery problem (my cousin got one that has it and need to send to repair center) which I don't want to deal with.
Arc design is better than S2, S2 is like a bigger iphone lol. Also one last thing is generally I hate samsung's keyboard because they don't put , (comma) in the main keyboard.
S2 has better specs that is for sure. But if you are not a really heavy smartphone user, arc is good enough.

I still haven't seen any area where SGS II would be really, seriously better and making Arc a poor or worse performing device. Differences are marginal.
Your experience is NOT typical.. and if you get the phone from a reputable source the you can take it back if there's problems... it really annoys me when a very small minority with issues, make out like it's a typical situation.. and it simply isn't.If you want to go with arc you better take a look at this thread beforehand!
I got one, now dead, going for a Galaxy S2.
Arc so sluggish, battery half a day, hang and auto reset once a day! It's your choice now.
I used SGS2 for about a month, and yes its a great phone..but now i switched to xperia arc, which i found better than the SGS2 in 6 out of 10 ways...
1. SGS2 is fast but it lags for about 3 sec when opening after sleep, and when using apps and going back to home it lags 2-3sec. Arc 1 sec only..
2. Arc camera is better and faster..
3. Sound is better on arc than on SGS2..
4. Colors are natural on ARC than on SGS2 (cartoons)
5. I find arc display to be better and really natural, it amaze me, sgs2 is good, but what i like about arc is when your outside and on the sun the screen is still stunning and readable 101% and makes the color appear vivid, arc best them all on this department..
6. Lastly the design of arc is the greatest phone ever engineered i think..
