I'm not sure why this is, but it is noticeable....

Any ideas?

Less app pages and app metadata cached in memory?

Ah this sounds right to me. I just keep a list of apps in my notes now.

I doubt I'll ever update from iOS 6 unless I buy future iPhones. And I know many people don't believe me but my iPhone 5 is def snappier when I don't have many apps.
