Hi James,
Thanks for getting back with me.
I have created a new project with 8.1 and added 2 webviews and a list view and the symptoms are still there. Just not as bad of a lag. My app seems to have a lot going on with the ui. I also wondered if it was a bad migration. I followed
all the instructions in the link you provided when I initially migrated my app. But then once I noticed the issue, I spent several days recreating my app in a completely new solution to see if it was a migration issue. And the issue persisted,
it wasn't improved in the slightest.
Then I tried to go about hiding elements in a different way, and it only helped in certain views. But overall a ~4 second lag still persists.
I have tested on a PC, and it works fine. I've been working on the migration for a while (since rtm was released to msdn). But I've only been able to test on an arm devices since the official release on the 17th.
As far as webview goes, I've had issues with the webview locking up the ui in the past. And according to Matt Small it's considered common knowledge that this happens.

Unfortunately the problem I posted in the other thread also persists. I just didn't expect it to get worse.
As I mentioned. The problem does not exist when I publish from visual studio 2012 and run in 8.1. It's only from apps compiled to run for 8.1 and only in ARM devices.
Please help, at this rate I won't be able to support my app for windows 8.1 at all. And may have to abandon the app completely. A ~4 second delay on my app won't be acceptable to my users. I've worked so hard on this, and I would hate to
have to do this. I don't have monster numbers for my app, but I'm at ~35,000 downloads.
