You do realize they make different builds for each device? So the missing new hardware on older devices that can't utilize the new lines of code are removed. To be honest... I don't see why it should drastically slow down with each major revision because the hardware is the same. I honestly believe that they make older device builds with more inefficient code to make it slower intentionally so that people will want to "upgrade" the device.
