It's not like we're dealing with a slow phone. It's just a hair slower than the 2 devices you mentioned.

If the software can't handle the ram it has as well as the competition, adding more just seems like the wrong way to go about it. I understand they have different design philosophies but so do Sense 6 and stock android, yet HTC has somehow managed.
I'm not saying anything is wrong with Samsung or TouchWiz and I commend them for their latest iteration, it's far better than it's ever been. I just think they could have optimized it even further, and adding more ram to software that isn't as optimized seems like a cheap fix. My opinion of course, yours may differ
Now if they added more ram, and optimized TouchWiz to handle the ram better, then it would definitely be a win in my book. You have to do both though, one without the other seems like a compromise
