There is a lot of slowness, freezing, and blacking out. The phone sometimes scrolls left automatically. Can't believe that I have lived with this bugginess for months. Verizon tech support was no help. I am performing the factory reset and we will see if that does much.
The factory reset did a lot of good for me. However, rooting, and installing the PlainJane rom (which is the official 2.1 release but with goodies).

Also, there is a thread here of tips and tricks for making your Eris perform well. You should follow the tips in there. Makes a huge difference.
