My iPad 2 is unbearably slow [View all]

Is there a way to speed it up?
I tried resetting it keeping my profile, not the "back to factory settings". Didn't help.

I spoke with an Apple Store person and he confirmed with me that when Apple updates their OS for the iPad it does slow older models down. So basically I'm screwed.

This reeks of planned obsolescence to me.
