My Hero has been VERY laggy at times. I did two things that seemed to help a little...
1. I turned off location services when the lag was VERY bad. I read on here someplace that there may have been an issue with too many apps using location services and slowing down the phone. Not sure if it's still an issue in Android or if it affects all phones, but I tried turning location services off anyway.
2. I cleared out my SD card .Mail folder using the Astro file manager. For some reason, the Mail app had somehow filled up nearly all the memory on the card. I had only about 7 MB free out of 2 GB, even though I didn't have many large e-mails or attachments and was only keeping 14 days of e-mail. There were a ton of "tokens" and other odd files. So I deleted the mail accounts from the .Mail app, cleared all caches in the Settings, and then cleared out the SD card .Mail folder using Astro file manager. Then I setup my Mail accounts again.
These two things seemed to make a difference somehow. It's still sometimes laggy though. I had to turn location services back on (obviously) to use a lot of the power of the smart phone....like Google maps, weather, etc.
I watch the SD card memory using one of the monitor apps now...waiting to see if the SD card fills up again and if the phone gets slow when it does.
