I've had my TB 13 days now.
Generally, I've been very impressed by it. Battery life kind of stinks, but once I got the applications to not constantly check for updates, it got a lot better.
Several times now, (somewhere between 10 and 20 I think) I've ran into a situation where the phone is very slow to react to my input - I have a password on the phone, and you can see it sometimes there - pressing in my PIN, it will take 3-4 seconds to recognize that I pressed a number.
Then at the home screen, swiping left or right seems difficult. Sometimes it acts like I didn't do anything - other times it acts like I did a long press. I've had some luck when this happens by swiping a "small" amount - or wiggling, until the home screen starts to wiggle a little - indicating it is aware that i'm touching the screen - then i can swipe left / right. Launching applications is tricky - I have to hold it long enough for it to see that I did it, but not so long it thinks I'm doing a long hold and wanting to move the icon.
If I try and type something into the browser window, or messaging, or email - it will be similarly slow to react. I have to press a key just long enough to get it to register - kind of like the problem I'm having with the home screen icons.
Usually, when this happens, I just do a reboot. I've had a couple cases where this didn't seem to help at all and did a battery pull - so far that has cleared up the issue, but I've had to do that about 4 times, and I'd really like to -not- need to pull the battery this often.
It seems to happen more often in the evenings. I don't seem to run into the problem during the day.
Tonight when I got home I restarted the phone - wasn't being unresponsive, just kind of messing around. So I was on a fresh boot. An hour later or so, I'm playing Angry Birds, and everything is behaving badly - having a hard time getting it to launch the birds, and often when I tap a second time for the secondary action, it is delayed or doesn't register at all. Fighting this for 20 minutes.. I go to the home screen, and sure enough - difficult time swiping left or right..
I use Advanced Task Killer Free to close Angry birds and a couple other apps (I get mixed reviews on if I should be running a task killer or not - I installed it last week after running into the slow swipe thing again - have it set to low / safe and it runs every hour - things DID seem to be behaving better with it until tonight).
Anyway - killed off angry birds and a few other items - home screen still sluggish.
I lock the phone.. I'm thinking I'll just leave it in sluggish mode and take it to the store and maybe have them look at it.
Well, 30 seconds later I get an email on the thing - I unlock it, and now everything is behaving just fine.
The last time I ran into this, I ran a cpu meter (Mini Info) - it didn't show the cpu as being high load - think it was at 15% or so.
Phone isn't rooted or anything crazy - I do have a lot of games and apps loaded on it, but not a lot of them are set to check constantly or auto-run. (auto runs are advanced task killer, battery minder (only for the notification icon) juiceplotter, youmail, avservice, watchdog lite (it doesn't see any apps as going crazy), autowifienabler, traveler (lotus notes for corporate email).
I do have wifi at home and use auto-wifi enabler to enable that when i'm home. That seems to be where I run into the problem the most, but I have had it happen at work.

Has anyone else been running into slowness / lag in response issues? I did a search and didn't see anyone else mentioning this (slow got me a bunch of results regarding 3g, and lag got me nowhere).
Suggestions on what to try next? It's frustrating when it happens, but clearing it up seems to be random as to the fix.
Any additional details I can provide to help narrow down the issue? Not a rooted phone.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
