ChevyNo1

Attempting some of ChevyNo1's kernels, I'll try the upper middle (1.1 LV) and have the 1.0 LV waiting just in case I run into some issues.

[Update] Running the 1.1 KV kernel, seems pretty speedy! Also trying some suggestions I found from Dont Panic @ CyanogenMod's forums, with a slight tweak in so far as I hate home screen redraws so I did enable Lock home in memory.

Compcache - No
JIT - Yes
Surface dithering - No
Purging assets - Yes
Lock home - No
Lock messageing - No
VM heap size - 32m

Another idea I found from sharkerbaby @ androidforums.com is to use a script called V6 SuperCharger Memory System, made by zepplinrox @ xda-developers though I'm not sure how this will turn out when mixed with various other CM7 based tweaks and a custom kernel.

I can't stress how wonderfully useful NANDROID backups are, when I was modding my iPod Touch G1 and hit a boot loop I had to redo EVERYTHING in order to get back to where I was. Now I can just pop into ClockworkMod and undo anything I want! I may play with things as they are right now, then when I decide to push a little more power out of the little droid that could, I'll NANDROID backup and try out the V6 SuperCharger.

[Update 2] Tested out with SNES A.D. (which previously had stuttering in audio) and plays smooth as glass! Area towards camera on back seems warm, but no more than usual.
