Yes, you can, but it don't necessarily mean that you'll fix the bugs, it depends on the rom you'll install.
Rooting your device will allow you to have privilege access to your system so you can change whatever you want and run some apps. Installing a rom is like installing other OS, deppending on the rom you'll notice some differences to stock.

Stock.zip for your default ROM or default ROM(customized by XDA developers)
CM.zip for CM ROMs (cm7,cm9,....cm11) or AOSP ROMs(AOKP,OMNI,CM,PAC,PA,etc....)

I hope This idea helped?
do some overclocking.... but be cautious..
try system tuner all you need is there to reduce a big amount of lag ... you can study it by yourself and some little search
a cache cleaner app also help to reduce lag...
and mostly why people root their devices because of custom roms and kernels,
so try finding the perfect combination of custom rom and kernel depending on your device.

Found it. But it requires root access. That bad news for me.
Can anyone give any info that where can I complain/request for this option.
Because it's an essential option that we need.
Complain!!?? You could try the g+google android forum but it's for serious problems. I know this is a big thing for you and I'm not making light of it but the world won't stop turning over it. Did you press simmler apps? There may be something that does not need root. Why not root? It's so simple. You don't need to change roms or anything. It's just very usefull for things like this
