Sounds like something is eating your CPU or RAM up. Just as an example, for me, typing at the desktop screen instantly brings up matching contacts, whereas you report 5 seconds. Definitely less than a quarter of a second for me.
I would try and see what your CPU usage is as you are doing these things. If you have the cpumem applet installed, take a look at what it's doing, otherwise use conky or just the top command from inside xterm, perhaps.

/ignore I was responding to a specific couple of points by the OP. If it takes five seconds to bring up a contact by typing at the desktop, there is something unusual going on, because, as I say, it's instant on my device. Sounds like a runaway process is consuming resources.

Agreed! it would have taken such a small amount of effort to have basic simple features in there ( and im not expecting the phone features i might add)!

And yes I fancy a moan - Nokia needs it to get the message.

But okey that is just a application some might say... But often it does not respond to my finger when I do ctrl + backspace and try to switch to another app. When I start to type at desktop to get a contact it takes like 5sec before something happends. When opening up preference and try to scroll down I come back to desktop(when Im to fast and I have seen the gui is up and running). When using xournal the text i write often comes 1sec after I have written it. And when I open up a contact and start to write my text I write takes really a lot of time to show up and the text in history too.
Now I have tried the first firmware, a flash on the first firmware and the new update(3day after the flash). So I guess this is not anything I can do anything about. But why does it have to be like this? Why can't nokia provide us a lag-free os, it does have the power for this for sure and to make a lag-free sms function with a 600mhz processor can't be that hard can it?
