What changed between iOS 4 and iOS 5 to make it laggy on older devices?

Something I've noticed when playing around with my old iPhone 4. iOS 4 is silky smooth, yet something changed with iOS 5 as it is a tad slower. Not horribly laggy, but not as smooth. Seems like it was something with the UI and graphics as they look a tad different on iOS 5 vs iOS 4. Anyone know?
