I was experiencing this occasionally. It was SUPER annoying. Honestly, even a Galaxy A6+ with the low tier but still decent SD450 is faaaaaar more responsive than the Tab S3 on Pie. Had to root Pie on my S3 to do some performance tweaking, but even that is limited because it won't let me manually control the rediculous CPU speed... I can change the governor, read ahead cache and entropy to make things noticeably faster.
Edit: The S3 has good hardware, but the software is underoptimized especially considering that this thing is running an SoC from Q4 2015. I will continue to use it as I am a college student and simply cannot afford to upgrade any time soon.
