Just a tiny nit pick, you can of course try a different image (Estel's is a good start, although it has a lot of stuff you might not need, such as GIMP) - OR you can upgrade the one you have.

Whilst I don't mind people finding such solutions for themselves for products that the company itself stopped supporting, it is still software piracy and I don't think we should be supporting it openly like this. Please remove the link.

You did not need to remove the post. Just the link.

Currently I am using an Easy Debian image called "debian-m5-estel.img.ext3"
The image is on the 32GB built in memory.
800MB Swap is on the SD Card.
I can't complain about the performance. Once loaded it behaves more or less like on a normal PC. But I know if your N900 is not setup correctly , using Easy Debian can be very frustrating.
Got your N900 setup without lagging -> go Easy Debian and forget the rest.
Current performance: interface is fluid.
Easy Debian startup until menu clickable: ~24 seconds
Libreoffice Calc startup until menu for loading ready ~18 seconds
Loading XLS file: 10-15 seconds
(used reference ratings.xls sheet from http://www.exinfm.com/free_spreadsheets.html )
Probably performance can be improved by moving Easy Debian files to a folder on the device instead of keeping those in an image but manuals on how to do that don't lead me to success.

Today I was using easydebian with the image file debian-m5-v3e.img.ext2 but it has openoffice 3, it is a bit slow and it doesn't support .docx or .xlsx files. I' ll try with other image file to see what it has libre office and if it is upgradeable.

on N900
I have been using abiword and gnumeric for .doc and .xls, working fine. The versions I have doesn't support .docx or .xlsx so it comes handy convert the files online and download it in .doc or .xls format
