I am using it for web browsing or whatever, things are going great and then suddenly it is nearly unusable for several minutes. Switch over to conky and sure enough one of those things is going full steam ahead.

The lag seemed to get much worse after PR1.2, I guess because much of it was moved to /opt which I believe is slower(?)
The greatest cause of all the lag is low RAM. Essential stuff gets paged out and you're stuck with an unresponsive system while tracker and apt-worker are slamming the flash. So you're fighting paging vs. regular IOs, when in fact a lot of stuff getting paged out shouldn't be.

I certainly hope the N9 has 512MB of RAM, preferrably more.
