I don't expect an older device to be perfect forever, but it bothers me that they keep rolling out OS updates when the older hardware obviously cannot handle it. It's a selling point but in my mind it's actually a strike against Apple devices. I know if I buy an Android tablet that I will be able to somehow roll back the software to an earlier version, even if it's difficult.
I must say that this has not been my experience with the iPad 2, which I believe has the same processor as your original Mini. Definitely no keyboard lags and Safari runs just fine. I wonder if it could be a particular app on your Mini that is slowing it down in the background. Just speculating.
