    WOW! I wished I would have seen this earlier.  I upgraded my wife's iPad 2 and it is a disaster.  So slow it's unusable.  A real shame.  And the worst is I tried the downgrade and apparently Apple has signed it out and I get the "this device is not eligible"crap.  I just wish they would have done that from the beginning.  Maybe there is a way around this?  Is is possible to jailbreak this?  And if so does that mean I can't use the App store?  What a mess!

    Did you install via iTunes? An update and restore can sometimes speed it up, and also remember, for the first 48 hours or so of iOS 8 it will be reindexing things which will slow you down.

    My Ipad 2 is painfully slow with IOS 8. I see you have found the way to install IOS 7 back on the Ipad 2 can you please share how can I revert back to the IOS 7.1.2?
