I had several issues with the lollipop update on my Tab 4 8.0 - general laginess, home screen took forever to come up, apps locking or running slowly, etc.  Performed the Wipe Cache Partition procedure and it ran much better... for a few minutes. Problem still persists. This was not the answer. Runs better after a Restart, but not like it was. Tab 4 USED TO BE so fast! Frustrated.
