That method indeed works. It improved responsiveness by 50% and reduced random lockups.

I have 3GB RAM, 32GB model. While build quality and screen quality are ok, performance is at level of 15 year old, budget tablet. Any decent chinese tablet at half it's price beats it. It's embarrassing.

It was the worst device I've ever owned in my entire life. It wasn't slow at first, but then it became very slow and the screen would sometimes suddenly go black.
