cannot tell how much of your problems this explains, but there's a discrepancy here: enabling extras-testing *should* come with a warning to drop your expectations of a well functioning device. in other words, with extras-testing stuff installed, expect annoying stuff to happen. if it doesn't, well good then. as qgil said: enabling extras-testing means you're no longer an end user but a tester.

related comment.

and in this specific case: i have noticed sluggishness of the n900 when account-plugin-butterfly was installed. however not as much as you do.

web browser windows (with flash elements) opened in the background tend to slow down the device. could it be applicable in your case?
