LauncherPro Beta...check it out
I've been using Helixlauncher 2 for awile and thought it was good. Then I sad seen this launcher in the market. I gotta say, I like it! Its fast, can have up to 7 screens which you can set which one for main home screen, SenseUI-styled previews by pressing “home", 4 shortcuts to phone, contacts, MMS, and browser ( the only negative so far is that you can't pick which shortcuts to put there ...yet hopefully!) ,a 3D app drawer...... and there is NO lag! Unlike Helix L 2. Try it out and see how it is. I know I've been looking for a good launcher with no lag and this may be it. dancedroid

I just started using this at work, and I have to say, I am mighty impressed with it so far. I don't really care about how the App Drawer comes up (though, it is pretty snazzy), but I really like everything else with it. The little lag I was experiencing with HelixLauncher 1 (most recent update) is gone. Also, I really like the Sense-like zoom-out when you tap the home button. Flawless. I do have 2 minor suggestions that I think could help.
1- I know you're in the process of adding the ability to modify the static shortcuts on the bottom. That is great, but don't lose the look. I love the whited out ghosted look that is there now. For people that have a white background, perhaps different color options for them.
2- If you can (and I'm not sure its possible on non-rooted phones like mine), have the ability to hide the notifications bar. Between the LED when the phone is off and the widgets I already have running, the notifications bar is useless for me.

What's weird is that when I started using Helix it was speedy as hell.
I started using this one and it's slowed down to near Helix speeds.
Is there something common about these programs that ends up slowing them down?
I've noticed that it has to re-populate each screen after you use an application. Does stock have to do that?
Why is it slower today?

Erm.. Mine is alright, much much faster than the default homescreen.
