The same lag that has been plaguing the phones since the first TouchPro. It also affects Garmin XT.

The lag is a delayed update of the map and voice prompts sometimes being as much as a block causing you to possibly miss your turn especially in an are with a lot of possible streets to turn on.

I just installed the new ROM and am going to check on the lag. I will post back soon.

hmm strange, I have run Mobile XT for years and not one time have I seen lag or missed a street or something.

I just used it earlier today on X ROM 6.1 TF 2.1 and it was lagging as usual, not quite a block but enough that I had to really pay attention to the upcoming streets.

I've ran the stock tmo rom, the European rom, a few custom roms. Garmin still lags.

60 on the street and 120 on the freeway is plenty slow
