iPad 2 upgrade to iOS 8 causing performance issues?

I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 8 and it's now no longer functioning quickly enough to be usable. For example, it takes several seconds for the screen to simply shift from portrait to landscape. The delay in typing alone makes it unusable. Anyone else having the same problem? I tried to reinstall iOS 7 but wasn't successful. Anyone figure out how to fix this?

II'd like to know, as well. Ever since I have done the update, my pages load slowly, if at all. I never had this trouble before the update. I'm really regretting ever installing it. @Apple, some help here?

I've exactly the same issue with my iPad2. It's unusable now and no option for coming back to iOS 7. iOS 8.0.2 doesn't correct the problem.

It seems the only think we can do is to wait for iOS 8.1, hopping the performance issue will be solved.

I've raised a ticket at www.apple.com/feedback and I recommend to iPad 2 users to do the same for letting know to Apple we have a serious problem...

No submit feedback button anywhere!! I used your link and this is where it takes me...I just want Apple to acknowledge these issue and give us feedback that they are working on fixes!! That is not too much to ask!!
