Oh. Is there a reason why the droid version works better? More optimization for the qualcomm CPU? I mean, the N900 can do 1ghz but it's still not going to be as fast.
Mameo 5 runs an X server at all times that cannot be turned off. Add that with the hildon-home and hidon-desktop processes, this add alot of stuff on the CPU that Android devices don't have to worry about.
Of course, Android apps have to run in the Dalvik VM while N900 can run more native code, so we've got that going for us....
One more thing is the audio. I don't know what runs the audio on Android devices, but Maemo5 is stuck with PulseAudio which is not the most CPU efficient audio daemon out there.
Put all this together and you have the fact that even when over clocked, the N900 won't run the same code as fast or as smoothly as Snapdragon powered android devices.

Is there any way of disabling things like
when psx4m starts up?
That would defiantly save processing power

- hidon-home and hidon-desktops
- even the audio daemon

Is pasuspend available for the N900? Can we even access a native ALSA audio device (I know it redirects to pulse in the alsa.conf file)?

These are all system daemons that would just re-start if they are ever killed or stopped.
I don't think you would want to hack your N900 to disable the restart features of these daemons. Even if you COULD find a way, you would probably lose access to the Maemo5 GUI in such a way that even a reboot wouldn't restore it.

To reduce hildon-home and hildon-desktop from hogging the CPU disable most if not all widgets. You can use an App called "Desktop Activity Manager" to disable and enable widgets easily.

Native code all the way.
BTW, we now have GPU accelerated froyo on out N900s so someone HAS to try psx4droid to see how it runs on the N900 + froyo.

On previous versions of psx4all etc
The Audio was off, so to let the games run easier.
How do I turn the sound off on psx4m
