Rooting is safe. Samsung phones are extremely robust, as in it's pretty much impossible to brick them thanks to the low-level recovery system. Dunno about software compatibility though, I only know of Windows software - perhaps a Virtualbox might help?
In any case, the speed-optimized firmware usually comes pre-rooted already.

I couldn't believe it when my S5 was going the same way. I've gone back to my 5 and won't ever touch a Samsung phone again. Seems like MadGamer is also experiencing the traditional Samsung lag too.

My S3 didn't lag, my S4 didn't lag, and my S5 doesn't lag. I'd be curious exactly what you mean by "traditional Samsung lag" since I can't find any source for it beside your own personal experience.
