Really though- get rid of it and buy something modern.

Is downgrading the O/S straight forward?
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Try resetting through iTunes, then take it to an apple store and see what they make of it. It coud be a bunch of Bad sectors on the RAM of the mini(?) memory does degrade with use and I doubt the memory is the same model between the two ipads.

Been trying to find the purchase date to decipher whether it's a v1 or a v2. The v2 had double the RAM of v1 which makes it the same as my older full sized v3. Lack of RAM capacity would make sense with newer IOS versions. Is there a utility to run that tells you the RAM?
I've heard thathat resetting via iTunes is "better" as suggested in above post - why should that br the case?
I'd back it up and reset it to clear out the junk, then install what you need.

I'm typing this on the iPad Pro that arrived yeterday. Bliss...
Have you updated the OS recently?

I wonder if apple are trying to 'remove' their older (but still functional, or was) hardware??

I expected an immediate improvement but there was absolutely no difference.
I suspect that it must be RAM which is impacted by newer IOS requirements - currently running 9.3.5.
I'll check specific model number this evening and cross reference with published specs. It looks likely that my "older" iPad 3 has 1GB RAM and the iPad mini only 512MB which would explain performance drop off assuming that later IOS versions requires more RAM. I guess I would have been running IOS 7.x when I first purchased it.
It's true on all platforms - I think it was windows xp that went from requiring about 512mb ram to 2gb minimum in the course of its life.
Bit rubbish - can you roll back to a previous OS?
Apple *really* don't want you to.

I doubt it's the OS though, my Ipad mini 2 has 9.2 on it and runs as fast as you can use it.
The only way you can "full reset" an iPad is to remove the digitizer, remove the LCD and unscrew the motherboard and gently lift away from the mating battery lugs and slide an insulator between them for a while ...... Any other reset is not a full reset
