I would temp root and clean cache before doing a system wipe....

If he roots, then there is so much more he can do with his phone that would speed it up.

I suggest that you remove littpe used apps until you have 30 mb memory free. I find that when I go under 30 mb, the performance degrades. I think this has to do with little memory available for cache.

I can tell you I had this same issue, but I was determined to fix it without rooting. So I did what everyone here has suggested to no avail. Then I decided to dl estrongs file explorer from the market and see just how much I could clean up if I could see all the files for myself. Much to my surprise, I found lots and lots of stored files for programs that I had deleted trying to fix this very issue. Two of the main ones I remember were Flikie wallpapers cache files and zedge operating files. Among moving some files around for easier access, I deleted these two folders off of my sd card. I will let you know too that these files and folders were still on the sd card after uninstalling the programs and then doing a factory hard reset. Once I deleted those, problem solved....my d1 with froyo 2.2 is wayyyy faster than it ever was with 2.1 and I am now running launcher pro with everything set to maximize display beauty AND a live wallpaper with about 6 fulltime active widgets. All this on my UNROOTED d1. So I suggest seeing what all is left on ur sd card that u don't use and deleting that garbage off there....with that being said....
DISCLAIMER: I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY BE INCURRED TO YOUR PHONE WHEN USING A FILE EXPLORER PROGRAM. BE CAREFUL, YOU COULD DELETE SOMETHING YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY NEED!

Move some of your apps to the SDcard to. Free up same system RAM for the OS to use, kinda like adding a new RAM sim to a desktop.
But as Hookbill said, get rid of those crap apps. That alone may fix the issue.
Best of Luck.
BTW, if u decide to root use the procedure on this link, the author is friggin Brilliant!

I'm having the exact same issue. did a factory reset and it seemed to fix or, but after installing some apps
it is doing the same. Very annoying. I also had deleted stuff from the sd card to no avail.
