iPod touch (1st Gen) slower since FW 3.0

Has anyone noticed that the 1st Gen iPod runs slower with the new OS? I upgraded yesterday and it feels slower when opening apps oder scrolling on webpages.

Anyone else?

1G Touch user here,
I have your problem too, mostly in App store and iTunes store on the Touch is incredibly slow and takes sometimes a minute to load up a simple page

Mine G1 touch was slow for awhile, but now it's better, especially after I restored it. I've noticed that the battery drains MUCH faster than it did with 2.2, and it gets hot when I'm watching videos.

playing music on my 1st gen ipod touch is slower since 3.0. after i synch now, it gives me a message saying "updating library ... this may take a few minutes". i did not get this message before. plus, if i try to play a playlist with lots of songs (1000+) the controls are very sluggish, taking 10 - 15 seconds to skip between tracks.

I have a first generation Touch and have had no problems with the upgrade.

I get this message as well, but only after I've actually changed around my library - then synced the iPod, it goes away in a second or three but I'd never seen that message before the update

Is it possible that the iPod is slow at first due to indexing for the search function?

My 1st gen 32GB touch is horrifically slow now. The main way I have noticed it is by connecting it to my ipod compatible car head unit. It used to produce the artist list quite quickly but now it takes an age. I haven;t played games on it as I now have a 3GS so just use it for music. Its terrible.

I'm going to use the restore function else I'm calling apple for a refund and details how to go back to 2.2

Mine seems slower too. For example sometimes when I try to open music it takes a few minutes to say its doing something with the library before I can play music. Or it is just slow to react when flipping through home screens or opening apps.

when deleting videos directly on the touch, what used to take a second, now takes forever, anyone else having this problem?
