    You can use Palm Internals to determine application lag time for those applications that are enabled as a default, i.e., those that run on an automagical schedule or those that wait in the background to do something.

    This morning I ran a few tests and the times are listed below. Note I never claimed speed was one of ZLauncher's strong points. Speed would put me with another application; what I gain in memory savings and configuration options is more important to me - a second or two does not seriously affect me.

    When I disable VolumeCare and CradleCare AND retain ZLauncher as the default launcher, the times in tics is 4,296 and time in seconds 43 - now that is a difference.

    When I disable ZLauncher as the default launcher with NO reset and disable VolumeCare & CradleCare, the time in tics is 5,238, time in seconds is 53.

    Now with Zlauncher disabled as the default launcher, disable Volume Care and Cradle Care and the Treo reset, the time in tics is 5,352 and time in seconds is 54.

    With ZLauncher's home key option disabled, VolumeCare and CradleCare enabled and the Treo 700p reset, the results are: time in tics 9,323, time in seconds 93.

    With ZLauncher's home key option enabled, VolumeCare and CradleCare enabled and the Treo 700p reset, the results are: time in tics 8,338, time in seconds 83.

    From what this indicates, ZLauncher is not a significant factor on my device.

    VolumeCare and CradleCare are factors on the device. I have CradleCare disabled at this time in order to see if it affects the stability of the SD card.

    Knowing what causes the lag (a bug in the system that is made apparent by the applications we run) makes it easier to tolerate the problems. Speed in my situation is not that important, a second or two means nothing when compared to stability. My devices are stable, meaning no resets. Speed and stability do not always go hand-in-hand.

    Yeah...lag time sucks...but I'd rather cut the soft resets down. I can handle lag as long as I don't have to reset...still resetting every other day...the Recso Lock and Pref Manager seemed to help some. It seems as though Agendus is causing A LOT of my resets. (...and Blazer).
