There are also various visual feedback options, such as a CPU load indicator, or a debug renderer for screen touches which allows you to see if your touchscreen is misbehaving and how (happens to me when I plug my charger, for example).

If you you're comfortable with custom ROM, LineageOS[1][2] is very stable and snappy on Nexus 5.
