I was having issues with my Maxx HD before flashing CM10.1 on it. Whenever I would be using an app for an extended period of time (maybe 10+ minutes) then press the home screen it sometimes, not always, takes up to 5 seconds load all my icons. Also, when I load the app drawer it can take up to 15 seconds to load all my app icons. I figured this might not be an issue once I wipe everything and install CM10.1 but it's still happening. CM10.1 seems to be working great and other than this issue I haven't had any problems at all (GPS, data, camera, bluetooth, etc...). I've gone into settings > apps and checked the running apps tab and, more often than not, it's showing only 0.75 MB to 10 MB of free RAM.
Could this be what's causing my phone to act so incredibly slow? I've searched but have been unable to find many, if any, other people complaining about the same issue. I've also tried clearing the Dalvik cache through Titan Backup but it only clears 4 MB of cache and nothing changes.
Another thing that I've recently noticed is that in the running apps tab in settings it shows many of my apps as "restarting".
Thanks.
