Root Slow home screen loading on Moto Droid! Help?

running stock 2.2, no downloaded launcher, not rooted.

I was experiencing a mind-numbing delay (sometimes up to 30 seconds) getting to my home screen. following advice, i removed icons from all but 3 screens. the delay vanished instantly! now i'm back to having the speedy droid i knew and loved. having fewer icons is a pain, but i'm using folders now (for games, etc), and it's well worth it.

also, moving apps from SD to phone didn't work. only removing icons did.

Hi All,
I have been wrestling with this slow home screen issue for a month or two. I have tried removing widgets, uninstalling apps one by one. I finally have my Droid humming along again! Get rid of the android facebook app. All is well now. I can use various apps , check my email, then click home or back and the home screen is immediate. It is nice to have my Droid back. Just use your browser and go to Welcome to Facebook | Facebook and then create a bookmark to it. It works just as fast as the problem facebook app.
