Jeeze, ignore this dumbass. There is nothing wrong with SR, however on some 'rare' devices it can cause reboots. If yours has been working with it enabled, definatley keep it switched on.
Don't worry about swappolubes VM settings, they have been shown to improve things, tried and tested RELENTLESSLY by almost every TMO user.
Make sure you have disabled automatic updates as this causes the phone to 'lag out' once every 24hours trying to find updates (which there are none). From xterm as root do this:
Overclocking, when done responsibly will not reduce the the lifespan of your phone. You will probably have worn the keyboard out and knackered every mechanical assembly on the device before you fry the CPU with responsible overclocking.Code:gconftool -s -t int /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval 1440000
In general the best compromise for batterylife and a significant speed improvement is a mild overclock to 805MHz at 'ideal' voltage profile with SR.
Can you be more specific about what circumstances the phone lags in? WHat are your useage patterns?
You did click 'store' on swappolube right?

well... isnt store supposed to make swappolube settings permanent... i kinda thought i would do the manual way.... like, every time i restart ma phn i reapply the proposed settings... is there any difference other than that?
also... i dont run apps outside extras repo much... but i do multitaskin all the time... heavy browsin... chat.... and i carry tons of media with me.... around 40+ gb.. which contains around 10k pics... i dunno if tats a prob...
finally, if overclockin is ma only way... suggest me a safer and efficient way.... with less battery drain....

Thats the whole idea of changing the settings. Keeping the phone optimised. Permanently.
You may want to look at trackercfg and changing the folders / locations that the tracker process monitors. This should free up CPU cycles and hopefully reduce lag.
OVERCLOCKING IS SAFE AND SAVES BATTERY MAN!!! Jeez, I don't know how many times this story has to be told. Seriously, try this out. Just try it. See if it works better;
Open terminal. Type the following;
If you honestly can say that your battery life does not improve and that lag is still prevalent I will eat my socks and provide pictures to prove the act.Code:sudo gainroot apt-get install kernel-power-settings <answer yes to installing> kernel-config limits 250 805 kernel-config load ideal kernel-config save profile overclock1 kernel-config default profile overclock1 reboot

The OP is suffering from LAG issues!
PS. As stated before, Smart Reflex ONLY causes reboots on a small minority of devices and seeing as the OP has had it enabled for quite some time without problems, its safe to assume SmartReflex has NOTHING to do with this.
Anyways. I have noticed that with several IM accounts online at once, the phone tends to lag around a bit. Think it is due to all the checking if people are online/offline and for new messages. Try setting up different settings so you can only have 1 or 2 IM accounts online at a time and see if that helps.
As for the email, it shouldn't really cause any problems. The main lag cause is the IM accounts, I have experience this lag and it doesn't really ever go away. Overclocking does help though.
Ps. Swappolube controls the Swap data and using IM accounts is more a processing issue than a swap issue so swappolube won't help hugely in this scenario but in most cases swappolube has been proven to help out and anyone disagreeing with this should take it up in the Swappolube thread.
Well Nokia do at least know how to build a decent phone, just apparently don't know how to support it..
