Touchscreen jumpy since ios 7.1 upgrade

Ever since upgrading to ios 7.1 yesterday my touchscreen is jumpy. Swiping is inconsistent and sometimes the screen jumps around when I touch it. In case this isn't a coincidence, is there something I can try to modify to make it better?

iPhone, None

I have the latest iOS for the iPhone 5 and I still have this problem as well!!! 😟 Seems I have to keep locking and unlocking the screen to flush the buffer that seems to be queuing up all my swipes and presses. I think the new iOS is pushing a need for a better processor, or is too resource hungry, causing lags, and attributing to this issue. If I was to hazard a guess, it's probably the higher priority of the touchscreen quickly queuing up my interactions during a random system lag, and then "replaying" it later.

I've also had this problem on my new iPhone 5S 64GB - flickering screen when resizing photos for example (very frustrating!). I found it when charging with my official iPhone wire and charger but it was plugged into an old plug gangplank (with 4 plug sockets) and not directly into the wall socket. It is probably the sensitivity of the electricity connection. I took it off charge and restarted it and it seems to be currently fine. Hope it stays that way and hope this helps someone!
