Um.. guys, if you happen to try above solutions but still got slow performance, you can try to install the latest adobe flash plug-in for android 4.0. Yes, google doesn't support flash anymore after 4.0. so download it from a browser, and install it.
I tried to play flash games on my grand duos with os 4.2.2, but the flash player told me to download adobe flash plug-in. It directed me to the web site, and I scrolled down to see the link for android 4.0, and downloaded it. Surprisingly, after installation, my device gotten smooth, opening gallery gotten much faster. I didn't expect it to fix my slow performance, but well yeah, flash plug-in fixed my grand duos slow performance on 4.2.2.
