sometimes swype lags like crazy. i've never had problems with it before this phone. tonight i went to apps to check what was running and there was all this BS going, i only had like 75 MB of RAM free. like i wasn't even using music and it's running, and when i stop it starts again. and swype taking up 71 MB?? grr.
 
Are you using the version of swype that came with the phone or the version from the play store? If you aren't using the store version you should switch asap, the one that comes with the phone is an old version.

You may also want to try the google keyboard. They just released a new version and it has swype style input. I still find I prefer swype, but the google keyboard is more responsive.
 
I only find swype a little laggy so not sure exactly what the problem is but you could also try disabling some of the features in swype like sounds, popups, spell check, trace, smart editor and the online stuff like swype connect and living language. If you use it of course keep it, but I don't use a lot of those features so I turned them off.
 
i prefer the google keyboard as it has swype functionality and It was made by the same people that make android so it meshes better
 
I didn't like all those extra features on swype, I've had them disabled for a bit. been using Google keyboard for the past couple of days and really like it, although I'm still getting used to the punctuation being in the suggestion bar instead of a hard press on a letter key.
