"it has a mind of its own" only because every user has different mods and tweaks(Even apps) installed causing the n900 to behave/preform differently. if everyone ran stock maemo on their n900 and used this patch, everybody would feel the same effects, but that is not the case. Some have theirs overclocked, some don't. Some have battery draining widgets/apps while others don't. It comes down to whats installed with it, and what isn't.
