However, I must ask if you are using an antivirus or auto task killing app?
If so, then stop those, uninstall the antivirus, and at least stop the task killer from running automatically, they are system hogs, causing the cpu to constantly write/rewrite to the RAM, and on our phones with limited RAM its a major issue.

None of the above really fixes the problem...
I, for one, haven't found that any of these solutions have helped this problem.
I'm running 2.2.1, not rooted, no task killer, no antivirus, no alternate home screen app. I've updated Google search, car home, even done a full reset. I've minimized the number of widgets to the News & Weather, Power bar, and Search. Seems whenever you reboot or reset, the refresh is a little snappier for awhile but then reverts to painfully slow.
What confuses me is why everyone isn't noticing this problem.
My only wish for Gingerbread is to fix this bug for good.

I'm also having this problem. stock phone, 2.2.1, running advanced task killer. this problem has been evident for me since the 2.1 update. it's gotten worse with every update since. I'm at the point now where if it isn't EASILY fixable, I might as well buy a new phone. you should not have to hack your phone to get it to work properly or as advertised.
I'm going to try and get rid of task killer, but wondering why it keeps telling me so many apps are running that I didn't execute. for example, I just rebooted the phone and did nothing else task killer is showing me that evernote, vzw mobile, jorte, messaging, visual VM, maps, package tracking are all running......this isn't including the apps and processes I have hidden from the "kill selected apps" screen. Could all these things running have something to do with it? How do you turn them off?

A quick tip to cut down on lag --
Install ADW or Launcher Pro from the market and set it as the default launcher. In the settings there's an option to lock the launcher in the memory. If you select this then you don't have to worry about Andy killing the launcher to free up memory for whatever app you're running. Really cuts down on the lag and redraws.

I second this. Only time I get lag or redraw now is when I change a setting in the launcher and it has to essentially reset the first time it runs after the change.
