I don't mind testing. I'm completely comfortable with Linux (and am in fact writing this on my Debian desktop). That's what got me in trouble initially... Attempting to reinstall a currently installed package (apt-get install --reinstall ogg-support). Whether coincidentally or not, I got a number of errors and several directories under /home/opt now give "Stale NFS file handle" errors. But I digress...

Currently...
CSSU thumb is helps to fight the memory bottleneck.
Swappolube to adjust IO settings. (Proposed Settings)
Swap on uSD with [plug] my app FlopSwap. [/plug]
Backupmenu is useful. You have to keep it up to date and take regular backups (especially after system changes).
Kernel Power (latest is KP52) with Smartreflex on. I don't recommend overclocking myself I don't think it's needed but the maximum is 900Mhz with SR.
Okay, I was using CSSU, but CSSU Thumb? I didn't run across that in the repos.
FlopSwap is in my future...As is backupmenu. That will go on as soon as I flash.

Why do you recommend against overclocking? I have been running mine at 900 MHz for two years with no ill effects. And I could tell a difference between 600 and 900. At 900, it was a bit snappier.

Also, is there a recommended patch order or procedure to keep one app from stepping on another? I think that's what happened is that something stepped on ogg-support's changes, and when I reinstalled it, things kind of blew up.

Thanks,
