You know, I was having this problem on my GN for a long time. I was convinced I was experiencing the storage deterioration problem. My GN is rooted and I've been running custom ROMs for a long time, keeping them up to date as time went on, and performance was fine. I was running JDX [1], and was happy with it... but as time went on, the device got slower, and all indications to me were that it was the storage deterioration problem. But then I switched to a more basic ROM [2], and now my GN is running perfect. Google Now is so much faster, switching apps is smooth, etc. etc. A world of difference. This post is now coming off as an ad for this ROM that I'm using... but I just wanted to share my experience. If you're looking into buying a new phone because of the slowness, trying out this ROM might be a last ditch effort to give your GN some new life.
