Root isn't necessarily the answer - I'm rooted, and I still have the issue....

Someone mentioned manually installing the 79MB update over the OTA. Might I also mention that from a discussion in another thread, it seems the SD card may also be to blame. If you install a number of apps to SD you may notice how long it takes for their pictures to appear if you have them on the homescreens. I theorized that the speed of the SD card may be slowing the phone down because the data cannot be accessed quick enough. This may ultimately mean that we'd need a more efficient SD card if the Droid will support it, otherwise Apps2SD may be a useless gem if you're aiming for speed.
I know in ADW you can set not to rotate, but not sure if that is global (meaning apps too) or just fo the launcher.

Well it may not be AppstoSD specifically, that was just my hunch. I do believe it has something to do with the SD card though, AppstoSD was the only thing that I figured was altered as far as what the phone accessed from the SD card after the 2.2 update.
To answer your other question, the problem seems to mostly stem from the reverse of what you asked; most people are saying it's the OTA crew that are having the problem, hence why many are suggesting to manually install the update. Given you manually installed and are having the problem, it seems to further support my SD card assumption. As Cereal Killer said, the OTA and the 76/79MB manual file are the same thing, it's just that the big one is the full build and not the patched one; makes no real difference.
So I wont rule out the Froyo update itself just yet, but it's becoming safer to say that the culprit lies elsewhere and it was simply the update that caused said culprit to malfunction.

I guess my problem is that what I'm considering the original manual install is not what others are. Most people are talking about some 75 mb instal.... the file that I used came from droid life in very early august and was 45mb.My guess is that the 75 is cleaner with less bugs. I really wish I could install the 75 mb now. Sorry for veering off topic everyone.
Stock kernel, only updated via OTA, having the same launcher lag. Recent update did not change the problem for better or worse. Opening keyboard on home screen, or exiting the browser while in landscape mode causes the issue 100% of the time. Takes between 8-15 seconds before icons appear.

It may have to do with under-clocking apparently. Raise your minimum clock speed to stock when screen is on and see if that solves the problem. Or just use launcherpro, that solved the issue for me.
I have the issue and I deleted my task killer before 2.2.
