I was watching some videos and I can't imagine how Swype with one finger would be faster than being able to use two thumbs.
The notion is that you don't have to be as precise. I personally find that normal typing is easier and faster.
I also saw a video comparing the Optimus to the Intercept which is 800mhz and the Optimus was going a lot faster. The Intercept has 2.1 so that could be the reason but the guy recording the video also said the Optimus has a separate GPU and the Intercept does not.
There are some potential performance improvements with 2.2, but the biggest one, the JIT, is only available for Snapdragon CPUs, so that's not relevant here.
Doing some more research, it seems that the CPU in the Optimus does have some additional on-die cores for GPU, etc. So I guess you're right about that.
It's the same phone as the Optimus S, Optimus T, and Vertex, though, so maybe you could go to a Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon store (respectively) and play with one of their display models.
