Using IOS 9.3.5 on ipad 2 - Is anyone else having endless crashes/freezing in Safari, photos and apps?

Does anyone else have the problems I am having with ipad 2 or any solutions? I have had endless, constant crashes, freezes and slow responses to websites opening in Safari ever since I upgraded to IOS 9.3.5 on my ipad 2. Even prior to that, as well as in the 9.3.5, my photos are constantly re-uploading my entire photos in the ipad photo app. Even though I haven't put a new photo on my ipad in the last few days, it still says it is uploading 1 photo. This has also caused my twitter app to constantly crash or freeze or be delayed for days everytime I try to tweet anything with photos in it from my ipad photos. I was almost going to purchase a new ipad mini 2 last week because of a good deal a certain vendor was offering, but all the constant disruptions that the IOS causes in delaying projects I'm working on and the constant freezing in apps I use to work on projects with each new upgrade, I am on the verge of going with Microsoft Surface. I have gone thru all the steps, from closing all apps, clearing all cookies, and unstalling and re-installing the IOS to its original factory state, although I did restore with the latest icloud backup prior to the worse of the worse of the constant crashes. It is most evident in the way photos are constantly re-uploading all of the 34,000 photos in my icloud photos that seems to be the biggest red flag problem that started with the 9.3.1 upgrade. When Apple creates these problems they then put the burden on the paying consumer to fix it and forcing us to spend endless hours trying to figure out the problems created by the Apple technicians. It is like the old days when Xerox first issued its large copiers which were designed to have breakdown issues so that customers were forced to pay never ending repair and upgrade costs to fix the problem bred into the machines by Xerox so they could increase their profability by 50%. You know consumers don't have endless bank accounts and eventually they, like me will tire of this game and move on to another brand. Think about it, when was the last time you heard someone touting excitment over any Xerox product. It used to be the #1 tech company.
