Safari 15 second page loads on 50Mbps service?

I'm at a loss - tried all of the tweaks I could think of/read about prior to a complete reset, that did not work.  Finally gave up and backed everything up in iTunes and restored (not from backup - fresh install, set up as new iPad).  No improvement.  Safari pages start to load but take approx 15 seconds to complete.  Ridiculous!  I have an iPad 1 with updated OS, 50Mbps service that tests at 25-30Mbps over wireless, minimal apps installed, 26GB free space, cannot understand why the performance is so bad (was not always like this - happened after last couple/few OS upgrades).  In addition to Safari, other things seem a bit buggy - keyboard and screen swipes sometimes a tad erratic.

Any suggestions on what I can do aside from ditching this thing for a non-Apple device?

BTW- even though I backed up before resetting, it looks like my non-iTunes purchases like books from B&N are gone.  Can't locate photos that were backed up from iPad to MacBook Pro.  Anyone have suggestions on where these might be found?  Not seeing them via iTunes or Finder.

Thanks in advance,

M
