IOS 8.02 and slow performance handling photos

Question

Since updating my iPad air to iOS 8.0.2 it has significantly reduced the performance of Photos.  I use my iPad predominantly for reviewing my photography when i'm on the road so it is extremely important to me that it works efficiently.  The setup worked fine in ios7 but since upgrading even advancing one image to another can take seconds by which time I've usually swiped the screen several more times only to arrive at an image 3 or 4 past where I want to be once the system has responded.  I also use simple image editing apps and need to copy an image to the clipboard to paste into the app.  The responsiveness of the system is at its worst in this scenario and can take up to 10 seconds before the copy command button becomes active.  My observation is that it has to wait until the line of images either side of the one I want must be re-painted before the command can be completed.  On a reasonable frequency opening the photos app simply crashes the system and it has to be opened again.  I've never experienced that on any of my iPads and I was an early adopter of version 1 of the device.  I should therefore like Apple to formally acknowledge these fundamental flaws and move quickly to providing a further iteration of iOS 8 that is not so "flaky".

Howdy Jake,
It sounds like your iPad is updated, but it’s slow to respond and even stops responding occasionally. The article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions that will resolve most issues like this.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
I hope this helps.
