There's bad performance hits coming from somewhere.

Very noticeable if you are like me and run an older smartphone (Galaxy S5, 2014).

There was definitely bad performance hits on older phones after about a year. Not exactly sure what causes that.

Maybe something in the older Androids, maybe performance of the hardware has just increased so much that it finally caught up with software.

Older phones should be fast, just like old video games, but they haven't optimized that much, they just stopped making stuff slower and started mostly incremental gains and stuff that requires new GPUS.
