Yes indeed.

Currently I am using an Easy Debian image called "debian-m5-estel.img.ext3"

The image is on the 32GB built in memory.
800MB Swap is on the SD Card.

I can't complain about the performance. Once loaded it behaves more or less like on a normal PC. But I know if your N900 is not setup correctly , using Easy Debian can be very frustrating.
Got your N900 setup without lagging -> go Easy Debian and forget the rest.

Current performance: interface is fluid.

Easy Debian startup until menu clickable: ~24 seconds
Libreoffice Calc startup until menu for loading ready ~18 seconds
Loading XLS file: 10-15 seconds

(used reference ratings.xls sheet from http://www.exinfm.com/free_spreadsheets.html )

Probably performance can be improved by moving Easy Debian files to a folder on the device instead of keeping those in an image but manuals on how to do that don't lead me to success.
