I haven't experienced this with the 3, what OS version are you running? Which browser are you using? Flash, mp4 or HTML5 formatted video?
Anniversary Update yet? That or firmware update from earlier this month. After installing the anniversary update alone I noticed a huge performance increase. Really impressed with the speed difference! Definitely did not run slow for me....
If I just wanted something to read E-mails and pay bills I would have stuck with a Pentium 386.As a tablet, my S3 is great. My only problem is that touch is messed up in Chrome. Videos are smooth and sound is fine. I don't find it slow at all for what I use it for.
Since I am creative cloud user and my desktop is my main computer, I installed my second license on my S3 just to see how it would handle it. Using my phone as my camera I have no problem opening small images and playing with them. I was amazed that Lightroom even installed.
Word and Excel seem to work with no problems.
I have no problem reading mail and paying my bills. I spend more time on my S3 than my desktop or my thinkpad.
Maybe you are just a MAC user and don't know it yet.
