Same, iPad 2 I reset to factory then restored via iCloud, took a while but it's a lot better for it, snappier. iPhone was on device as an experiment, running better than ever. iPad 3 used iTunes last night, slick and fast.

Like I said, we didn't believe you then and we don't believe you know.

Hmmm....well I think I'll hold off on the "upgrade" on my 5. Based on experiences of past updates, they're usually detrimental to performance and battery life which is more important to me than a few cosmetic changes and non-essential functionality.

Yup, 8.0.1 OTA pulled. Seems the issues were specific to a) OTA update, b) iPhone 6 / 6 Plus devices.
If you managed to download the firmware and used iTunes to update I think you were ok, certainly it seems an option-click on the update button in iTunes, then selecting the firmware file would update - so no need for full restore - and you'd be ok.
To be honest, from a dev perspective, the iOS 8 / iTunesConnect changes have been more than little frustrating, and this 8.0.1 issue is the brown icing on a sh*t cake. I have to say it's been the worst release phase for iOS I've encountered.

It will only be available for a limited time, once Apple stops (which can me anytime soon) support for 7.1.2 it stop signing this firmware which will make it impossible to downgrade.

Stick with it MDS, my iPad 2 runs better on 8 than 7. Perhaps do a factory reset before restoring your back up, it worked for me so should work for you.
8.1 will be available shortly, was out yesterday for a short while, should be back soon.

1) Back up you ipad to itunes on you computer
2) Run restore iphone via itunes
3) then restore your ipad from back up once prompted.

I agree with trying the restore route. I've had a couple of devices seem a bit slow and a full wipe and restore does seem to freshen things up and they seem more responsive.

If so, that is pretty poor, by any standards?

It happens to all big software houses
Although you would have thought Apple have enough cash in the bank to pay for someone to come up with a decent test plan
