My 8810 has loooooooong pauses between app switching/closing

About half the time I perform an action on my BB 8810 there is a long (and sometimes very long) pause. It can be opening up email, using the "backup" key, or just about anything. Seriously, sometimes it pauses for over 60 seconds. I have tried to power down during one of these big pauses and have received a long hourglass, then a shutdown. When restarting, the email queue is cleared out but immediately sync'd back from the server. Is there any sort of "task manager" on this BB to understand what processes are busy off where? Would it even matter given the modal framework of the software? Or is there an OS upgrade I should be getting.
 
indifferent I’m thinking my decision to not get an iPhone might have been a mistake.
Inappropriate?
