....or just wait until iOS 7.1, beta 5 already runs much better than 7.0.4......
or they will run the beta and jailbreak

The lagginess is because of lack of ram.
Sorry I got really excited. Is it true they will never be able to Jailbreak 7.1?
Thanks for your reply. I do have icon0matic installed too. Maybe that's it! No way I'm going to uninstall it though! Love the effects too much!

Some people don't want to jailbreak.
Then they shouldn't be in the Jailbreaks and iOS Hacks part of the forum
This one of the lesser educated things I've ever seen said on this forum.
No. It is not true.
Yes, the lag on iOS is not caused by lack of ram.Really? Once your phone is out of ram it get's laggy as hell. You clear your ram and phone is super responsive again.... How interesting... If you don't have anything good to say do not try to insult, but instruct as to why is not "educated" to say this...
Where is your solution? Have you presented it to Apple? But since this is a JB forum, I am pretty sure you have a "tweak/mod" that solves the laggy OS.
Yes, the lag on iOS is not caused by lack of ram.
As an iOS and jailbreak developer, I can assure you that at any given time, your device has more than enough ram to keep going without lag, probably over 50MB on A4/5 or 400MB on A6/7.
RAM on iOS is managed differently than it is on a desktop UNIX environment like OSX. On OSX, you are most certainly correct. Low levels of RAM will slow down your environment and you will need to close things and do other stuff to free up ram.
However, on iOS this is NOT how RAM works. RAM is constantly filled by application states, caches, background downloads/etc which is what actually keeps iOS pretty damn snappy! It's the reason an iPhone 5/S drops down to less than half the 'theoretically available' RAM shortly after turning it on - it's committing things to memory so iOS can be more responsive and spend less time on the CPU and more on the data it has already stored.
So, in essence, free RAM is wasted RAM. When you 'clear RAM' you're removing everything the device has cached in RAM and probably slowing your device down more.
To be clear as well, my comment wasn't meant to be an insult, just a genuine observation of a consistently mis-stated fact.
The slow downs that came up from iOS 7 though have more to do with short development timelines and optimizations in the system that weren't in place yet.
Beautifully put. Not so much 'poor execution' as it was 'nonexistent optimization that was rampant in iOS 6'
