Google Unveils The New Nexus 7 Android Tablet

The original Nexus 7 filesystem drivers weren't issuing TRIM commands when deleting files, so write performance became much slower (in some cases, <1MB/s). LagFix is a rooted app to fix it, and there are alternatives for non-rooted devices as well.

My solution (which includes some steps described ITA) after struggling for while: 1) get rid of multiple users 2) free up a lot of space 3) run ForeverGone.

#1 was a step backwards, but so was horrible performance. Now things are running smoothly.

I noticed my Nexus 7 getting very slow, found this same information, and ran ForeverGone. There was no noticeable improvement. I then did a factory reset. It may have been a bit snappier at first, but within a couple days it was slow again.

Mostly, I noticed jerkiness and lag scrolling web pages. I'm not sure what I'll do now. Between that and a huge stuck pixel that won't go away, I regret buying this Nexus 7, which was my second one after the screen broke on my first.
