My phone doesn't really lag. Honestly if you're experiencing enough noticable lag, you've either got too many apps running processes in the background or there's something up with your handset.

I've limited the amount of processes that run in the background. When it DOES lag, I've noticed that the 3G/E/G icon has activity -- so something is updating -- causing the lag.

I also love the app "Memory for Lemmings" always seems to get my phone back on track when it slows down and I've killed processes and still have lag.

Honestly, since downloading TasKiller and using it to find problem apps, and removing apps that I don't need that seem to run in the background a lot, I rarely need to use Memory For Lemmings.

Widgets can cause lag, because they're the same as having an app that's always on. Even ones that aren't active. I had one of the CNN widgets, liked it at first, but then I removed it from the home screen (but didn't uninstall) doesn't matter, it was running anyway! So I uninstalled it.
