850 is still quite moderate.
Whats your threshold set to for upscaling ?
I'm running 250 1100 with upscale of 65, sampling rate 150000
I'm also running a greatly lowered swappiness of 20
I don't have any performance issues at all.
I do have a slower 250 500 upscale 99 sampling 300000 for when I want to save battery.
btw, anyone know the queen beecon dbus bits to make it swap between above two cpu profiles when I lock or unlock the phone ?
I've got widgets to select one or the other, just don't get the dbus bit syntax .... help please

Have you tweaked it or installed anything outside of maemo.org extras or nokia repositories? If you have then reflash it completely and test again.
.edit
actually as geneven asked how you measure the speed?Was it fast from box?

Linux systems use all of RAM instead of letting it sit empty. Most of it has data that has been read from or written to disk. That is quickly replaced by some other use, if needed. Otherwise, if the data is needed again, it is already in RAM.
Xorg is the window system, hildon-desktop is the desktop manager.
They can misbehave, but it does not look like it in your case.
Do a power search on swappiness. Changing that may help you.
n900 slowness gets discussed a lot. Please do some searching. Also,
read enough to do some critical thinking. A lot gets written that is not completely true.

4. hildon-status-m 4.65
can anybody explain what are these and why is my ram usage so high? also, some solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Why do you think your N900 is slow? What problems are you trying to solve?
It's interesting that people are trying to help you, including Slender, who recommends dramatic action, yet it seems to me you haven't described the problem yet. What is slow?

if you use a lot of multi-tasking, slow is normal, i usually open firefox and microB browser at the same time. and then a little music (media player). and switching between apps is kinda laggy (even @1GHz) which I expect.

Why would a 0% increase in performance be worth increased heat, instability, and crashes?
