Edit:
I've since exchanged the device. This thing is AWESOME. I don't have any lag at all.
I still find the speaker a little too low but I've managed to work with it.
Now if I can just find a means to disable the brightness toggle in the notification shade I'll be completely happy with my new device.
Wow. I've had the VZW Note 4 since 10am this morning (I'm coming from an LG G3).
It's...slow! What the hell? There is a noticeable time gap when multitasking between apps. It's slow to recognize taps too. I'm pretty shocked. My entire interest in changing from the G3 is that I thought the 805 chip would better handle the higher res screen. The G3 practically screams compared to this phone.
This is probably the single most frustrating aspect of Android phones. We can smirk at iPhones and their 1 gig of RAM all we want, but those things absolutely fly (not interested in a flame war, use whatever device is best for you, yada yada).
Also, the speaker is terrible. Just terrible.
I'm gonna give it a day or so but right now I'm not seeing any reason to go with this phone over my G3.
P.S. Yes, the screen is GORGEOUS. Hardware has a premium feel. Fast charging with this huge battery is awesome.
