iPad 2 "Photos" app suddently became *not* smooth

I have a very annoying problem: my iPad 2 shows images(scrolling from one to other) and videos (playing is jerky) from "Photos" built-in application NOT smooth and also the pitch to zoom function is jerky.
Actually it seems that now I have a tablet slower than iPad 1 (that I sold yesterday).
I tried to do a reset but nothing changes.
Have you found a similar behaviour? Do you have any ideas to recover full functionality of my ipad 2?
Thank you.

I can confirm that I have the same problem.
I had one iPad wifi 32GB and I recently bought two iPad 2 wifi 16GB, one for my parents and one my girlfriend.
I synced the one of them with the same photos I have in my old iPad.

I have to say that swiping through the photos is very jerky and unpleasant to the eye.
The same when I zoom and try to move around the image.
On the contrary all these tests on iPad 1 are super smooth.

I have reported this already to Apple.

I can't explain why this is happening. I hope there is a solution soon.

Unfortunately installing 4.3.2 didn't solve the problem.

I even tried to sync new photos from my Vista laptop and later from the MacBook Air with no change to the result.

I think that it will be difficult to notice the difference for those who never had iPad to compare with.
It MUST be a software problem.
I noticed that iPad uses a blurring effect on the picture during the transitions of scrolling and the iPad 2 doesn't use this effect. The result is to have a stuttering moving image during scrolling...

I have reported that to Apple.
I hope they do something because it is very annoying...
