n900 still smooth and responsive, uptime is now 16 hours. my cpu/mem applet always shows 2 bars on the memory. so no worries there battery usage is as good as it ever is might be slightly better tbh. i'm not using the transition that was in the patch don't know if this makes any difference to performance as i use the transition time changer is cssu tuner and i prefer the transition.ini i got from some thread on here. all good here Karam nice one
