Maybe people reporting performance or stability related issues should mention what is the hardware ID of their devices. There have been quite many different hardware versions of the N900, at least when it comes to protos. But maybe also the final units have different hardware versions. When you download the N900 flasher and the latest firmware and you unpack the .bin image of the firmware with flasher, you will see that there are separate packages for different hardware buillds and that there are something like TWENTY different hardware builds supported by that firmware, ranging from 2101 to 2020 or so. And there were even more hardware versions before that, for example my prototype was 1501. The final unit is 2101. Hardware ID can be checked in e.g. /proc/component_version Maybe it'll turn out that there are some hardware differences between units and that's what causes that some people have problems and others don't? So maybe the fanatic fanboy's unit simply has different hardware and that's why it is not affected by issues some other people have, and not because he is a fanatic fanboy?
