It depends on how old your DS is or how often you use it. You might simply need a new battery.

I found on the more "rigorous" games that my DS does run a bit slower.

This is a first time hear for me. I don't think it would be your battery though, if it was then I would think more then just thoughs two games would do that.

It's a hardware limitation, and it's normal. Some games cause slowdown.

Changing the battery won't speed things up, but it would probably extend the battery life by a couple of hours.

I don't think so. I play Animal Crossing: Wild World almost regularly and i've never encountered a slow down in performance. I don't own Scribblenauts(yet), so I have no advice on that one. The whole "pre-owned" thing may just be the dilemna you're facing.
