Adrian, I agree very much with David's suggestions, the stuttering of Voice Over is a classic symptom of an over full App Switcher and / or a handset which is rarely power cycled.
My strong recommendation for all iOS users, is to empty their App Switcher daily and perform a power cycle immediately there after. This has kept my iPhone and iPad running smoothly ever since the first stuttering symptoms appeared. In addition, as a system admin I also hold to David's assertion that there is a possible chance of corruption by performing the forced collapsing of the iOS platform resulting from the 5 successive presses of the power key. The iOS device at this time is not expecting this crash and as a result maybe accessing a key string of code, or a significant part of your user data. If this happened at the exact moment you performed the 5 successive presses of the power key, it is conceivable that it might corrupt data. The 12 second or however long it is, press of power and home at the same time, is far more logical and sensible. As it is coded into the iOS as a sort of… I want to reboot this device, prepare for it please and stop doing anything critical notification to the device.
