WP Lumia 520 - Frustrating after official update to 8.1

I have been using Lumia 520 for past 10 months and was a happy customer.

I never applied the developer preview as I wanted a working phone and the wait for official update got over 2 days back, super excited I installed the update and then the nightmare started.

1.) IE 11 youtube - The video just does not load with error - Video decode error (Need to restart phone to solve this issue)
2.) Music - when I scroll the songs list, instead of name of songs I see a LOADING text.
3.) Twice in 2 days I have experienced 'LOADING' text when I open the notification window.
4.) The phone lags quite a bit (it was buttery smooth with WP8.0)

I googled for these problems and noticed a bunch of threads with these problems reported in the developer preview version, I am surprised they have not been fixed.
Just wanted to share this experience if other WP8.1 users have had a better experience.

I would anyways try a software reset and try my luck over the weekend, but I am moving back to android.
 
A factory reset is recommended after upgrading to Lumia Cyan.
About the music player, it is broken from the beginning of WP8. The latest update just made it worse.
