AFAIK the slowdown is due to cheaper lower quality Flash memory.

99% latencies increase as the flash memory wears or fills, and I think the UI gets intermittently blocked on writes.

Very interesting. This aligns with my experience. It also explains the random crashes and freezes. Things might just go missing.
