Being in the computer business I hear that all the time. It really is, at least in part, the number of apps but also the types of apps that tend to make it operate slower. Finding the active widgets and uninstalling any you don't use would help. A hard reset, (instructions below) would help. I found that the primary reason for those problems on my TF is the anti virus app. I have NOT found an anti virus app that won't affect the performance.
