Tried it and it works well... phone performance improved a lot and lag issues seem to be minimal...
But, sometimes (for eg. while running browser... app manager.. etc) phone lags still.... and the cpu usage is always 100 percent at that time.. is that normal behaviour?
Code:
gconftool -s --type int /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval <NEW_VALUE>

Overclock to >805 != SmartReflex.

I would try to avoid usage of the app manager of Maemo. It tends to trigger update check and some process named apt-worker might stay in background checking updates and degrade performance of all apps. Disable automatic checks and use only fapman.
And about swappolube. It has been probably installed by many many users, but there is no proper usage reporting on how it affects device performance in long run (~5 days uptime or more). I have seen some messages where people tell that it makes GUI little more responsive at first but over time things go worse. This could be just some leaking app or some rather rare memory usage combination. After all I have learn that we should not "advertise" to aggressively these tweaks because YMMV and after all nobody really knows what they really do. I have enabled some of them and they seem to help but then again I have noticed that in heavy memory usage when phone rings it actually might make things worse.
Also everything depends on to what you compare. If you compare to superfluid and responsive iPhone then N900s responsiveness and animation speed is inferior but how much. And how much it disturbs user is pretty subjective area.
So moderate overcloking, some swappolube tweaks, common sense in multi-tasking, tracker configuration, automatic update killing, minimize amount of constantly running daemons, see if automatically polling/updating widgets start to grow hildon-home/desktop etc. memory usage.

Where <NEW_VALUE> is a large large number. Like, erm, say, 2,147,483,647 maybe?Code:gconftool -s --type int /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval <NEW_VALUE>

Sweet as a nut.
Depends very much what you want. I wouldn't bother with SR as I want the extra CPU cycles.

I just thought of something.
What is the result of the following command?
