It's much more laggy than my wifes incredible and I have nothing running on any of the screens other than static icons. It doesn't feel very powerful to me. I still like the phone, but it's not as smooth as I would think. My buddy has a d1 and the d2 doesn't feel faster to me.
But what apps are you running? Poorly coded apps, whether used as widgets or not, can cause the system to lag by making it unstable. If you provide a list, I'm sure at least some of us might be able to figure out which one's the problem.
As another poster points out, running task killers can also cause this problem: they make the phone laggy, and they hurt your battery life, and should be avoided.
Are you using a basic wallpaper, or a live wallpaper? The wallpapers that moves also use more processing power.
If your apps are syncing excessively, it can also lag your phone since the processor has to run a process every time you sync something. Sometimes it's things you wouldn't expect, like the included Social networking widget for facebook, myself, etc: there is a known problem with this widget where it syncs too often and drains the battery.

I just got the D2 today... so I hope you are right.
But like I said, more than one person, including the guy that sold me the D2, said the Dinc was the best phone he had.
He didn't even try to sell the the X which surprised me. Probably personal preference.
But i originally had the HTC Eris, which left a bad taste in my mouth. So I decided to stay away from HTC.
I also upgraded from an Eris, and I must say, that bad taste was left by HTC, and not the Eris. At least, in my case it sure was. Their BBB rating is now an F. The build quality is poor, and when something inevitably goes wrong, they either won't support it, or are inept when they try. I tried for just over a month to get support and they came up with three completely different stories as to where the problem originated and why they didn't have to deal with it. I'd call them trained monkeys, but there's really little evidence of any training.
The DInc isn't as great as some people make it out to be. Like the Eris, it has its share of problems. Three of the known biggies are touch screen not registering touches (the same issue affects the Evo), self-rebooting (which some Eris users reported), and privacy concerns in the browser, where thumbnails are saved of pages, including banking, etc, that remain even after doing a factory reset.

Personally, I find my D2 to be very snappy. I only notice lag after I've been using it for a long period of time and I'm expecting it to open a new app before the last one's even off screen. But then, I try to pre-empt the screen when I'm using a desktop computer, too, with similar results...
