Early adopters- have you noticed any slow down at all?

I'm curious if any of the S6 early adopters have noticed any slow down in their performance over time. Is your S6 as zippy as it was out of the box or has the typical Samsung Touchwiz woes kicked in?

There were a bit of lag when I first updated to 5.1.1 but things are running very smoothly now. The battery is noticeably worse since that update, though.

Verizon Galaxy S6 with zero slow down after two months. If anything it's too fast. Running Need for Speed Most wanted game with Twitch.tv live feed, 1080p movie, BubbleUPnP pushing movie to another phone and other background tasks with plenty of horsepower left for more.

No slow down at all here. Had it since launch. I don't use TW. Phone is awesome.

On. AT&T, used TW at first, very fast and smooth though more bloat and bulk could be removed. Installed Nova Pirme launcher and Tesla Unread, still no loss of performance.

Have had my s6 since launch day... Super fast... Battery very poor though.

Hoping that this doesn't morph into a battery life thread, mine is not suffering from some of the issues causing such angst. Had two meeting sessions totaling five hours, still at 100%.

Yes, seeing slowdown in the form of apps not being kept in the memory long enough, forcing them to fully reopen. Phone is great when it's after a fresh reboot or cache wipe.

I got my Active in the first week of launch and it's just as fast as the first day.

My S6 Edge is constantly reloading apps. It randomly crashes and reboots as well as having poor battery life to boot. I've always loved android, but this is ridiculous now.
