I didn't notice any real performance issue with my phone, but I am coming from a history of much slower devices.
I was browsing around the XDA forums, and found there is a lag fix for teh Captivate that works like a charm.
I went through a little pain with other attempts, and a bad update.zip that was made for a different device, but the third time is a charm.
The write-up I used is here:
xda-developers - View Single Post - [LAG FIX]Another alternative to the I/O issues
The emulator i used was "Android Terminal Emulator" and is available in the market. (I have sideloading and the T-Mobile Market fix in place, so the AT&T market may not see it).
My phone is much peppier and faster.
No delay whatsoever while using it.
Quadrant scores:
Pre-lag-fix: 890-928
Post-lag-fix: 2132-2164
Some people will argue that quadrant scores don't mean anything, but my phone sure does feel quicker.
Keep in mind that this fix will eat up 1GB of your 2GB internal phone storage, but I have 40+ apps installed and still have 663 MB free after the fix. I can't imagine I will fill that up.
Also: make sure you use a backup tool to backup your system + apps + data, because if you mistype something, you may need to restore your phone with a tool like Odin3 (160 MB download). I use the full version of TitaniumBackup.
Have fun!
