Found your problem.

The thing is it's currently running as it should but iOS limitations are fucking me over. Nice meme btw.

Will a backup allow you to return to 7.1.1 is 8 turns out to be unusably slow?
If so then try it out.

Wait.
Maybe upgrade to a version that is jailbroken?

Once you upgrade to a version that is not jailbroken you are sol.

I have saved my shsh blobs so I think it would be possible to downgrade anyway but I don't really want to take any risk. I wish there was a graph with comparative performances for each version of iOS on each idevice.

iOS 8 isn't signed by Apple so how would you install that is beyond me

In addition, updating iDevices two years after it gets released is basically killing your device. For example, if an iDevice has been shipped with iOS 7 on launch, updating it to iOS 9 will cause "sudden" and "unintentional" lags that gets worse and worse with every update. This is worse on Samshit devices as one update is enough to cause battery drains, performance drops etc. Basically, updates are a meme.

If you can, retrieve cracked ipa files for your apps and install them. Don't use App Store

Ignore the other retards, I know what I'm talking about.

Apple has signing windows on iOS, meaning you can't downgrade and you can only upgrade to a signed OS version. IIRC only iOS 9 is being signed for that iPad version. So you have two choices: stay where you are and use older apps or upgrade and take the performance hits.

This is what you get with iToys. We told you not to buy them. We told you to buy a Nexus and flash CM or Lineage, but no one ever listens. You've been cucked by Cook.

The backups restore app data, nor the whole OS. Even if you restore to an iOS 7 backup on iOS 9, you'll still be on iOS 9, just with access to previously saved data like pictures and music and stuff.

The signature hashes save nonce and APTicket data and can be used to create a custom IPSW to so an untethered or semi-tethered downgrade, but you'll need a jailbreak with ftp0 enabled and you'll need to use special CLI tools like KLoader. Anyhow, 9.3.5 32-bit has no jailbreak available.
