I am sick of my stock Verizon Droid any time I exit an app it take 30 seconds or more for my home screen to come back up. It has to be the slowest reacting phone on the planet. I am considering trying a new ROM but have no idea where to start. I know there is rooting, unrooting, and such but whats the right move. I'm not huge on wanting to customize, I just wait a smooth running phone and I don't care what I have to do to get that.

Beat advice you will get right there. Definitely try out different roms and find one that fits your phone. They all offer some great features, so you wont come across a bad rom in this forum.

My recommendation:
1) Rooting first with a stock rooted file and the thread that has already been linked above.
2) Learn about overclocking and underclocking your Droid, which may help you with your screen redraw/lag issues. I think fur had a good thread that I followed after I rooted here (Item #2): http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ha...ve-rooted-now-what-n00bs-guide-post-root.html
3) Consider trying out some ROMs after you're comfortable with 1 and 2. I recommend trying out AOSP-based ROMs first, until you really understand the process and what you're getting into.

Every phone is different, but I am personally having the best experience with SS 5.2 Gingerbread. Using the lv 1.1 Ghz kernel. 1.2 Ghz or above causes me bootoops. That's MY personal D1 though. Apparently, they all have their own personality.
You look as though you're on your way already to discovering the glorious world of customization/optimization. It's a rabbit trail... but every path leads to new discovery, and a learning experience. THIS is the right place to become informed.
Take your shoes off, kick back and do a little reading. Ignore the trolls (even the ones who live here), and filter out the bullcaca. You'll be able to decifer the difference very soon.
All in all.... welcome, and happy modding.
