After loading the Iphonetoday application into system memory (an Iphone-like icon-based app that contains all my apps and games on 6 screens) and after adding the Manila TV tab (replacing Footprints tab) with over 100 TV channels ready to go I still have 72MB of available memory. That gives a nice cushion.
I tried the other ROMs, and you are right that after they are done you end up with precious little memory. Better to start off with a stripped down version and then add as much to \Internal Storage as one can. HTC Sense 2.5 works well for me, very little lag, no freezing, lots of qvailable memory.

Thanks for the heads up on PMD's Sense 2.5 ROM, georgepa. I'll have to give it a go as soon as his next revision uploads. Cheers!
In regard to Sense 2.5 ROMs, I did flash OMJ's latest 28014 v1.5 Sense 2.5 ROM on my spare Diamond last week, and really like his tasteful 6.5.3 build and the Sense 2.5 eye candy. Moreover, it's been stable, fairly fast, and has not locked up during use yet. Nonetheless, even after moving everything I could to Internal Storage, the Diamond only has around 20MB's of Main Program Storage Memory left (from about 46MB's just after flash). Even less if I do not delete the ever growing cache file in the Application Data/HTC/HTC Album/Cache. That said, I use a bum load of third party programs too. In turn, this system has been loaded up with 100+ extra apps/games, and it's still holding up well under moderate use so far. To clarify, I only have a few MB's of programs in Main Program Storage, and around 240MB's of programs in Internal Storage, and the WM 6.5.3/Sense 2.5 system is still running quite low on main storage.
Yikes! Did not mean to type ramble again, lol... Guess my thread topic opinion is still the same; Sense 2.5 is the best for the eye candy factor, but heavier on main storage and program memory. Titanium is fast, clean, and functional, but kind of dull. Spb Mobile Shell is very functional, and has many options available to customize it's look and feel, plus it runs great from Internal Storage, and uses less system resources than Sense or Manila.
Best to all,
