I hightly recommend rooting anyway.I used z4root, myself. Easy peasy! One-tap rooty! I only just restored back to stock--I don't trust any of the ROMs out there yet, since they're all in alpha (or even worse) state right now. Although, for your sluggishness, have you looked into what's causing it? Eliminating the root cause might be better than flashing a new ROM.
Slow downs often happen when there's apps competing for memory at the same time in a multitasking OS like Android, and memory management isn't always optimal by default. You can manually free up unused memory by holding down the HOME key, tapping on the task manager, go to the RAM manager tab, select level 1 and 2 and tap 'clear memory'. Not a GREAT solution, but just something to try out to help narrow down the cause.
If you're going to be rooted, be sure to check out V6 SuperCharger--it might help speed things right up by providing better automated memory management settings for the OS.

I am running Qole's easy debian image on the galaxy tab. Work in progress on the mount - chroot - umount scripts; just taking bits of code from other people who did the same.
The vnc client I'm using to provide X is particularly good and has easy on-screen choice of mouse left/right keys, kbd, panning and zooming and is free for 1 remote connection: http://market.android.com/details?id...ocketcloudfree
Heartily adviced. I wish the open source client were so easy to operate.

Thanks Dan.
The RAM manager has become my second home of late.
I suppose because I have become used to my Sensation that the tab will seem a little slow. My main problem is that if you try to make a few quick presses on icons or the web it doesn't like it and spits you out to the home screen. Perhaps a little more patience is the key?
I also had an update last week, which I think was an old one, but it would be nice to go to gingerbread although that still seems a while off yet!
Well girls, after a long internal-mortal-kombat, I've made the plunge to Android.
No, I didn't go all-in with some mind-blowing dual-core monster, but picked up instead a more timid and maybe already EOL, HTC G2 on eBay, for $330.
I'm actually cautiously excited, though not so much for to the G2's aging hardware

What are you complaining about? I'm still happily hacking/using my Motorola Droid--quickly nearly 2 years old in a few months--and it's working more than fast enough for everything except the most demanding video games.
I don't see many obvious differences between froyo and gingerbread, but haven't played with it too much. One nice thing is that Netflix now works, and works pretty well too boot.

Nokia's slogan shouldn't be the pedo-palmgrabbing image with the slogan, "Connecting People"... It should be one hand open pleadingly with another hand giving the middle finger and the more apt slogan, "Potential Unrealized." --DR
