Summary:
iOS 8.0/8.0.1/8.0.2/8.1 has this problem.

I have a page with 70 simple text inputs:

<input class=""  type="text">

On iOS 7 the page has no problems. But on iOS 8, selecting and typing in a field causes the iPad to become slow and laggy.

Steps to Reproduce:
Load this jsFiddle in iOS >8: http://jsfiddle.net/laurin1/ea83o9rn/6/



Expected Results:
Normal typing response.

Actual Results:
On an iPhone 5s, it's laggy, not terrible, but slower than normal. On an iPad 2, it's almost unusable.

Version:
iOS 8.0/8.0.1/8.0.2/8.1
