This is a very low factor on phones let alone any nix system, including osx.

Yes, i've used both the droid and the nexus one (which is a bit smoother, but has it's own problems.)

The droid is kind of in between but surprisingly closer to the speed of hero when you get just a couple apps open. I have no experience with custom droid roms so I couldn't comment on their efficiency.

But rather it is comparable, for once you understand how fast a device which is primarily a pda should be you start to appreciate how much lag there really is out there. Sure a person who's only used an early gen winmo will think the htc hero is the next thing since sliced bread, but once you used to typing, switching apps and browsing on the nexus one or the iphone you will immediately want that speed on your device.
