Yeah a pc slows down if you run a lot of stuff, a phone does too.
But I should be able to have 100 apps installed no problem, be running gtalk, htc sense, handcent messaging, phone, gmail, contacts, voicemail, and a task manager without having only 30mb of memory free and the phone crawling when trying to search through contacts and make or end a phone call. These are basics. Throw an opening of the browser, amazon, or market in there and the thing becomes nearly as annoying as the mogul.
I'm also on fresh 1.1 and it's just silly that If I want to browse the web, i have to force kill everything to get decent input response. (I tend to measure my lag by keyboard and browser response)

I don't have any of these problems. I am running gumbo kernel. I don't use a task killer but I do back out of apps and I don't have any lag.
I have 90 apps and no lag. I run Sense, Handcent, Gmail, and Tapatalk almost all the time without ever backing out. I only Hold home to switch between them. The keyboard lag is no different with all those running as it is without them.
I have never had a problem with input. Maybe it is an app you have installed. I have a problem that Sprint thinks I don't need 3g in my area, but that is a different issue all together.
EDIT: Almost forgot, force killing apps in linux actually slows the phone down because it has to reload the memory again. If android works the way a box does anyway. I have read up and since I got rid of my Task killer, put setcpu on ondemand, and backed out of apps that I'm done with, I have no problems whatsoever.
