iPod Touch slow/laggy... how to get it faster?

[cootersgarage6]

My 4th Generation 8GB iPod Touch is getting really laggy. Even simply things. Like when I go to scroll through the pre-loaded pictures for my wallpaper, it lags... and same with web pages and sometimes when I type.. It's not a memory issue because I have almost 5GBs free still, and nothing running in the background.

When was the last time you turned it fully off and back on? That's often the fix for them slowing down.
