Use mine almost every day since it came out. I have severe lag doing anything. Started about a month ago. Is this thing just wearing out? Would a total reset fix this?

Are You Using Wifi?
Or a direct cable connection to the Internet? First gen's should be fine but it is getting a little long in the tooth now.
If you are using wifi, and if possible try connecting via cable directly to your hub or router, If there is no improvement then I guess it is lagging behind...Upgraded to the latest OS?

I do have the latest update. Still works for what I need. Battery life is still great. But if this is apple's way to keep us buying more by building these with a shelf life of only a few years, won't be buying apple again when I'm ready to update. Will try a total reset to see if that fixes things.

Yep, just reset that b*tch (restore as new). That should do the trick. What problem(s) are you having exactly?

I'd be interested to hear if you find a fix... I have an iPad 1, and I've been having the same issue, and slow Internet to boot. Sometimes when I'm typing it takes a long time for each letter I type to show up. I'll repost if I ever figure out what is wrong.
+1 for me. Similar lag in responsiveness in recent months for my launch day iPad1. Let us know if restore makes a difference.

Decided to sync it since I haven't done it in a long time. It worked. The lag is gone so far. Really didn't want to nuke it but if it happens again, will reset it.

Yes, because of course all other manufacturers build their products to last so that you never have to buy another again. 🙄
Seriously, your iPad isn't "wearing out," it probably just needs a good wipe and restore. Even a PC needs that every once in a while.
