Actually jailbreaking the phone won't slow it down, installing too many mobile substrate apps especially Winterboard will cause some lags to the system. Mobile Substrate add ons/apps will increase the memory usage thus slowing down the phone. Just now I did some experiments with 2 phones, 1 with Winterboard and 1 without. The result:
Without Winterboard
- Apps open within 2-3 secs
- Apps crash less
With Winterboard
- Apps open within 5-6 secs (more than 100% increase in time)
- Apps prone to crash (due to high usage of memory)
You can test it yourself if you have Winterboard and SBSettings installed. Run the phone in Safe Mode and you'll see the difference.
