My Nexus 7 (2012) (acquired in 2013) is still going, some days it's pretty choppy. I'm finding daily shutdowns give a 100% improvement, otherwise it becomes unusable.

Yours is still working well?
Mine is a bag of shit. There's a known problem with the flash on the Nexus 7 2012 which degrades over time. I need to read up again and give it a wipe and fresh start.
I wasn't aware this problem was so widespread. I've only read one article [on a apple fanboi site FWIW] that says it kicks in when available storage <3G (I've got >15G). I figured it was due to having only 1G of RAM which a browser can max out PDQ. Supposedly there's an app that can 'zero out' the memory which helps for a few months. Must look into that.
Forgot to add there's a definite hardware issue because whenever it slows down the back consistently gets really hot in an area near the lower center right in landscape mode (battery?).

Just installed and ran this (picked at random from several similar), and it did seem to give an immediate boost. We'll see how long that lasts, and whether it's repeatable.
