Im not sure what kind of issues Blue was having, but when I got mine rooted. I noticed that dl'ing apps from the market was taking FOREVER. So I ran 4 different speedtest.net tests and my avg for the 4 tests was something like 118/150 with a max of ~180/220. I couldnt figure out what the issue was, so I unrooted mine (thank you shabby!!) and ran a few more speedtests with them being 550/350 and 351/185 for the first two.
For whatever reason, having the phone rooted slowed the shit out of mine. Only things that I did was install a few root app, remove bloatware.
Might try again tomorrow, maybe it was just an iffy rootjob.
When i tried the command
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system
doesn't seem to work (operation not permitted)
and i cannot delete su because its read only.
Any other suggestions on unrooting?

type those into terminal emulator, it will remove all traces of root
Had Da Same Problem Un-rooting... With A Lil Playing Around I Got It Removed...
Jus Type Mount in terminal emulator 1st. Then Type Remount rw . Which Changes The System Permissions To Read & Write. Then I Removed Each File & Folder Listed Above With Root Explorer... Or Yo Can Use The Rm Commands Above. Both Work... Root Gone... Rebooted Phone... Also Noticed That /dev/stl12 /system Wasn't Located Anywhere On My Phone Maybe A Typo.... I DUnnO! Hope This Helps Out...

I'm having the same issue. Can anyoneshare some guidance? Thanks!!
This worked for me perfectly and I hope it does for you as well. TIP: I removed -f in the code and removed the rm /system/xbin as you will have root removed all the way after a reboot from doing step 1-5.
