What about the phone registry? I think it makes a difference in symbian (the time the history of calls is kept). Does it affect the performance on maemo as well?

Disk thrashing is no good for performance.
You can always also disable the swap if you're so concerned about it.
The more you commit to swap, the harder the cpu has to work because it has to swap from disk to real memory hence the terrible lag.

I was also surprised when I saw all this processes in htop but then I saw also that only one process was actually active. So most of the processes which you see there dont use resources except a bit RAM.
If you dont like it then disable the ones which you dont need, but I dont see any process which is "useless" there.

it drives me nuts that I ALWAYS miss a call while browsing the web or watching a movie on the device.
This bug describes that after playing video the video rendering daemon (mafw-gst-renderer) grows in memory uncontrollable and N900 kernel spends some physical time then it swaps mafw-gst-renderer out (see comment #11). That takes 10-15secs and you miss a call.
EDIT: vote for bug for faster resolution of it. Now it is still in UNCONFIRMED state.

Reflash EMMC(backup all the stuff you wanna keep)
then flash the update(51-1.002)
i did that today after too many symlinks. works like a charm

One thing that fustraights me so much about some N900 users... Its NOT a SYMBIAN based phone, or an iPhone with iPhoneMacOS, it is an internet tablet running LINUX and should be treated as such.
The more stuff you put on a linux or windows desktop application wise, the more it will slow down.
Symbian applications are not as complex as a Maemo linux application, less lines of code etc.
If you want a superfast no lag device with no issues and perfect firmware from day dot, don't buy an N900.
Performance will improve over time as code is cleaned up and bugs are ironed out in future releases.
