I had keyboard lag on my stock rom Thunderbolt and Rezound but haven't experienced any on my GN . Even when in forums . I do however get some lag when trying to switch the orientation of the screen
i have a little when typing on forums or in a web page but to me isn't something to blame the G Nex for.
When typing in a text message or email i get no lag at all. In fact i tried to make it lag by going crazy on the keyboard and i got no lag.
I don't get any lag at all but I don't know if that has to do with not being a super fast typer on the phone or because I use smart keyboard pro.
Also as was noted previously, turning off autocorrect gets rid of it on the nexus. That said, what I have found, i had to turn off the autocorrect in the main screen for language and keyboard, NOT the autocorrect under the actual settings specific for the android keyboard. I can leave that autocorrect enabled and be lag free and still have that autocorrect enabled and functional as well as pop up, sound (although I turn sound off anyway), and vibrate. I'm not sure why there are 2 different places for autocorrect, butthat is what has worked for me. I guess the main setting is global autocorrect to any keyboard while the one specifically under the android keyboard settings is of course only for that keyboard.
Ok so i had the lag while typing on the keyboard in landscape. This is NOT the same kind of lag seen when typing in various forums using the browser in honeycomb, for one because it happens on the nexus in any application, and two it is not only in landscape in honeycomb. I have confirmed in my case that it is the keyboard, as I don't have any lag when using SwiftKey.

Thank you for posting this solution. It took a little time to figure out where the different settings were that you describe, but in the end my keyboard can keep up with me. Once again loving this phone (and this AF community)!Also as was noted previously, turning off autocorrect gets rid of it on the nexus.

I had the Rezound for over a month but decided to go ahead and fire in on the Nexus. It was the phone I wanted from the start, but the Rezound was out, was appealing, and I needed a phone as my Droid was dead. The Rezound (Vigor) was also the phone I figured I would get all along, back in the summer when I knew my upgrade was coming and didn't know anything about Verizon getting a Nexus device.
I enjoyed the Rezound but I really just don't like Sense and I was worried it wouldn't get S-OFF. Now I'm on the Nexus and love everything aobut it, but I'm worried about the data connection, as my experience has been one such that Nexus doesn't hold the data connection as well as the Rezound. While I'll believe that the signal levels of the phone are on par with others, I don't believe there isn't an issue with it dropping data. I've experienced it. The Rezound holds 4G in places where the Nexus will not and sometimes the Nexus loses 3G data in locations where the Droid did not. I think the Nexus has some issues with handoffs between data networks.
I read the AnandTech article on this issue and I agree with the points made and have also done some of my own rough testing. I put the Nexus in 3G and compared to every Razr, Bionic, Charge, Rezound, Droid X2, and Droid 3 in the store and they all showed similar signal level readings in dBm and had similar data speeds. On LTE, the Nexus showed 20-30 dB lower signal reading, but still, the data speeds were the same. I did this before I bought the phone on Sunday and then again yesterday after reading the AnandTech article. The AnandTech article offers an explanation for this, which is simply that the other devices, when on LTE, still report the EvDO signal strength, hence the higher signal levels when looking at the signal strength.
Here's the link to my initial impressions on the Rezound versus the Nexus.
