This happens due to everything being bigger on the s5.
Even the most menial task of unlocking is the difference between rendering 518,400 pixels vs 2,073,600 and then the hd overlays on top.
Same with camera, the information fetch for the higher spec camera will take that little bit longer when dealing with higher mp then rerender on the full HD screen.
Bottom line is, on any 2D app that requires hardly any processing, a low resolution phone will be faster than I high resolution phone as the snapdragon inside the e is no slouch for such tasks and could keep up no proble. Add a bit of processing needs and you'll soon start to see the high spec phones run away, even on basic photo editing, you'll see the s5 render the filters and edits much quicker than the e.

well it means that just because it's more expensive doesn't mean it's better quality...Iphone's are a good example of that

And bit funny how that moto e had no pics in the gallery, considering the actual loading of the gallery contains a preload of thumbnails, does make me wonder if a similar sized collection on both would result in same results.

Exactly as viridis says - Try running something like Minecraft (or other memory intensive game) side by side and you'll see the difference then.

Yes cleo, both will load to the menu pretty quick. And a lower spec cpu could even beat the highest rate cpu. But once you click start, that lower spec cpu will start to fart and stutter it's way to a very poor quality gameplay.
