is it normal that my ARC S is so slow!?

Hi everyone,

I really appreciate my xperia arc s because of the style, the monitor, the camera and the price but it has some problems that I would like to solve (or otherwise acknowledge that I can't do anything about them).

One of it is that my arc s is very slow! Especially when i press the "home" button.
This is what happens almost everytime:

it takes from 10 to 60 seconds to go back to the home and have it working at 100%. It's not so much time but it always happens!

I have android version 2.3.4 (I'm afraid to upgrade my arc s to ICS because of the battery consumption)

Memory free space is 48 MB on internal memory and about 2 GB of a total of 8 GB on my SD.

I have some apps always running: Avast, 3G Watchdog, Widgetsoid, delayed lock and easy battery saver. I like them, I would like to keep them running if the problem is not caused by them.

Is this normal? Do you have a clue? Do you need more informations?

Thanks

Yeah it is faster but sometimes slows down again. Not as slow as before but I prefer to have it always fast. I'll disable the app you suggested and then see what happens.

I'm really satisfied of the upgrade to ICS and your advice was precious. Thank you guys!
