I haven't tried moving any apps since getting 9.3. But I have not noticed the problem you are referring to on my 6S. In fact, on my iPad mini, running the same version of iOS as my 6S, I wish they would speed up the folder opening. I can sit on a folder all night with an app seemingly, and the damned folder will not open to add the app. It's very strange, because I don't have that problem on the phone. This is one area where I wish Apple would take a page from Google's book. The Google now launcher on android has a beautiful way of moving apps, both on the same page and to another page. You have absolute control over where the app is going. It's wonderful. And I can't say that when comparing the two systems too often.
