Music/sounds doesnt work for me; i have lags, every ~500ms. My N900 is overclocked to 850MHz.

Can't confirm, music and sound works here fine.

Just an idea.
Anyone thought of converting the .bik and intro videos from the game CD to use as N900 boot vids?
I particularly like the Relic 'mine' intro. Just change the "Relic - Entertainment" text on the plate to read "N900 - Maemo 5".

Only those things have caught my eye so far. The source code has over 250 000 lines of code, so there's still a plenty of places to search.

I set all effects as low as possible, modified the ship drawing code to use OpenGL ES without the wrapper and draw the ships untextured. Even though the game looked almost like Elite, stuttering was still present.
Also, not related to optimizations, but related to gaining FPS - would it be possible to run at (You can laugh at me) 400x240 resolution, stretched to full screen? Of course, visual quality would drop, but we would still keep native pixel ratio (1 pixel become 4 pixels).
From my experiences with desktops, it often helps a lot - on my notebook, after some tweaking, I was able to comfortably play Witcher 2 with moderate graphic settings, thanks to running it @ 840x525 resolution (half of my 1680x1050 screen, stretched). It gave me stable 20-25 fps with moderate-to-high details, and, surprisingly, quite pleasant visual experience (much better than higher, but non native 1024x768) - while at 1:1 native resolution, it was ~3fps at lowest settings.
Scratch the above, if it's impossible to run HomeworldSDL in such low resolution - it just was my first though, when I encountered more serious stuttering during really massive battle in skirmish with CPU.

OP now links to an updated version, which makes it possible to play with an external mouse. I also tried to restore Alt, but it doesn't seem to work, at least through Synergy. Can someone with a real keyboard confirm?

Seriously though, so what is bootleneck? CPU? And what about this 40% used by kernel, that you've noticed before?Some small suggestion - I've noticed, that large mine-fields hurt performance a lot, even though, that they're draw as simple dots, for any other situation other than very-close-look. It would suggest CPU, yep?

Alt on real keyboards works perfectly fine Thanks for considering and applying my suggestion.
Hoever, it seems that You've forget to restore middle mouse button as focus (now, assigned to "f" only). this one doesn't work. Of course, rest of mouse works great now, and it's absolutely great to switch freely between keyboard/mouse and touchscreen/built-in keyboard.

I follow the instruction but when I run the game I have this error:
~ $ cd /home/user/MyDocs/Homeworld/
~/MyDocs/Homeworld $ ./homeworld
memClearSetting=0x3c6ef361, memFreeSetting=0x3717bd79
42 files found in Update.big
14139 files found in Homeworld.big
Homeworld CRCs:
HomeworldSDL.big TOC = 0x0
Update.big TOC = 0x291050b6
Homeworld.big TOC = 0x6d4f7636
(not used) = 0x0
(null) (0): Fatal error - fileSizeGet: can't find file '/home/user/MyDocs/Homeworld//SoundFX/speechsentence_comp.lut'.
Segmentation fault
~/MyDocs/Homeworld $
What can I do?
Thank you in advance
PS: I installed Homeworld on my PC (win7 64bit) from the original CD and I patched it to v.1.05. I transfer files in PCSuite mode
