I think someone may have answered your question a few times. Maybe you could do a thread search?

^what they said.
You'll just have to reboot into recovery to install the update. You will lose nothing with the possible exception of the lag.
Does it really get rid of the lag?

I fixed the two that I did the manual update from the OP. One neede the app removed and reinstalled. The other one under the location and security section I found the use gps option selected. I unchecked it and selected use wireless networks. On the phone that received thed OTA update I updated it again using the @file from the OP and it fixed it. They all work now. Thanks. Oh btw one of the phones I manually updated has terrible battery life. Can't seem to fix it. The other 4 have good battery life.

Funny, some folks are blaming apps on SD for the lag. From what I've read of your posts I'll take your advice, though. Especially since I was getting it with *no*apps on SD!
I installed the 76mb update manually (with some reservation, since my initial attempt borked my last Droid, but I had to try) and so far I think my Droid's running snappier. Definitely helped Gallery, though it still gets mixed up with icon PNGs.
Hard to type with fingers crossed.

Good luck with lag, I had similar probs after ota but kept shucking un-needed apps and moved all I could to sd via manage and finally got my snap back. Oh ya, after ota Helix is out. I tried pro but finally went with ADW and luv it, you really need a theme for it to work good.

Has anyone who received the 2.2 updaet noticed that when certain applications aer run it opens in landscape viewing even when you are holding the phone upright?
Happens a lot to me now since the update (OTA)

Many apps only run in landscape or portrait mode. If they've been opening "sideways" and then turn to "the right way" after loading then there seems to be an issue with the software reading you accelerometer or whatever the thing is that checks your orientation, and you might want to double-check your settings and if all else fails install the large update from the OP to see if it helps. Of course, if this doesn't but you much just leave it as-is, and enjoy the fact that your Droid does something few others do.
Mine does the same thing from time to time; each time it's done it, I've found I wasn't hold the phone as upright as I thought it was, and as soon as I did, it changed. It even does it when the app is already open and I didn't feel I changed the position that much. It does seem more sensitive to changes in orientation than before the update, but it's not acting crazy on me.

FroYo is a lot more sensitive. It helps speed up reorientations, but it does mean you have to be a bit more careful about how you hold it.
??????????????????????????????????????????
Just curious... you mentioned moving apps to the SD card. Is there a way to do this when you install an app from the market place, or, is this something you do after the app installs? I am un-rooted, did the Froyo update. My Quadrant score runs between 780-800 depending when I run it. Would like to increase performance without rooting my phone. Would be great if there was a way to bump up the CPU speed without rooting the phone

NO way to overclock without superuser permissions
On an unrooted phone you have to find and move all the apps that can be moved manually via the application manager in the settings.

If you root, you're not as restricted as to which apps you can install on the SD card; you just use an app like "Terminal Emulator" that sets a new default command for the installs, and that's it. But again, you need SU permissions to make those kinds of changes.
Keep in mind, if you ever decide to root, you don't have to do extreme things to the phone; you can just use it to override some of the limitations like the ones you mentioned above.
