S3 kind of lags...sometimes.

[GTWalling]

Don't know how long you have had the S3, but you may need to wipe the cache partition, do the following:
1. Turn off the device.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key at the same time.
3. When the phone vibrates, let go of the buttons.
4. Press the Volume Down key to move to and highlight wipe cache partition.
5. Press the Power key to select and wipe the cache partition.
6. After the wipe is finished, go back up till reboot system now is highlighted and press the Power key to restart the phone.

Also I was wondering if anyone knows whether having multiple widgets on one page will cause additional lagging?

Widgets usually require additional CPU, graphics and data overhead; having more than one widget on the same page can lead to apparent lag. You could try putting them on different Home pages to see if it makes any difference.

Removed widgets. Turned off power save. Disabled S Voice. Turned off transitions/animations in Developer Settings.

Still have the issue.

It's almost like the icons flicker on. They briefly "pop up into place" after I've been away from the home screens for a bit. Again, once the screens are up and running, everything is super fast and smooth. This happens when I'm coming back to the home screens after either having the phone asleep for a bit or after doing something like sending/receiving several texts or emails or or some running some app for a while.

Is this an ICS issue? Touchwiz issue? My phone only issue? (btw, I have the 32gb version)

I know people said try another launcher which I will if I have to but I'm shocked that this happens on this phone and not on my previous phone (Thunderbolt) whose specs were much less.

Very frustrating.

What's the use if having a smartphone when can't do the above features?
