Just to make sure this doesn't become only an iPad1 discussion, let me say my iPad2 does the exact same thing. It won't hold Safari. By that I mean, Safari appears to open, but then crashes at any activity. It does this every time and has done it from iOS5 day one. Not before. It's really silly for Apple not to respond since it obviously is a widespread problerm on one of the apps at the heart of the iPad.

I've not experienced this slowing on any apps. In fact, with my iPad2 and iOS 5, Safari is about 50% faster than under iOS 4.5. I have most iCloud settings OFF with the exception of Photostream and Find my iPad.


iCloud seems to be a prime suspect with a lot of problems surrounding iOS 5. Much of iCloud is turned on by default when it is set up, so users should check those settings ASAP and turn them off to see if performance improves.

Yeah, I tried that but it didn't help. However, for whatever reason, Safari has been behaving for me for the last two days. I hate to even say that because I don't want to jinx it.


And doesn't that theory/fix/workaround really bite then because iCloud is supposed to be one of the new great features of the iOS? What good does having the feature available if you can't use it or if it causes problems?
