iPad Does a Reset All Settings reset need time to sped up?

Hello, I inherited, because my sister in law received whatever the current iPad is, a first gen iPad Air on iOS 10.0.2. Because it's already slow enough and apple isn't sigining the iOS version it's on, I can't put a fresh .ipsw file on it like I'd like to. Not as far as I know at least but please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway because of this I've just done a reset all settings. After whatever tweaks I could, like bare minimum notifications, no spotlight search etc, it seems like it's sort of coming around. I know a fresh install of iOS needs a day or so to settle down from indexing or whatever, is the same true for a Reset All Settings?

It potentially could be. Consider that iOS is installed a variety of devices overall. It’s possible that they have code that goes through and optimizes itself for whatever system your on. For example, in Mac OS X, when there were still PPC binaries being combined with x86 and x86_64 binaries, you could download apps to remove the PPC binary versions from the app. It in turn would reduce the size and could potentially speed up the system. I wonder if they could have something similar like this in iOS. Versions that are performance specific for the A8, A9, A10, etc. I would give it some time. In addition, using the device so it knows your habits would be helpful, especially if Siri is trying to understand how you use your device.

Other than that, it is an older device so it may not be as fast as the others.

Ok thanks. Siri is off, for the record. I'm just trying to maybe use 2-3 apps at once and be able to switch between them without them reloading. This seems to be happening less than it was at first thankfully.
