I have the same problem after installing iOS 7 on my iPhone 4 32GB.
The phone runns very slow, so my workflows are continously interrupted, even by some design missconcepts.
Since then i avoid working with my iPhone 4.
Is this really the intention of Apple?

Go to Settings>iCloud>Documents and data and turn it OFF.

How is your phone after doing that ?
