repair your phone with SUS
disable unwanted apps
if you sync fb make sure you don't sync your albums (it will slow down your phone)
do NOT use taskiller and/or antivirus

if you have intrusive apps like taskillers and antivirus they will slow down your phone and make Android unstable, also yahoo mail its known to slow down phones.

if you are syncing fb make sure not to sync albums as this will slow down your phone

I wonder why it isn't possible to perform software downgrades via SUS or PCC.

Since Sony is not willing to fix bugs for ICS, it would be a great support for customers if they could just solve many problems on their own and choose the best software for their needs.

Thanks for suggesting switching off FB-Image-Sync!! No lag for minutes now, I couldn't even start Settings or Ringtone-Selection before AT ALL!

Feels like 4x-speed... Hoep this lasts long.
