Guess the bottom line is that I need to start with a light 6.5.3 Sense 2.5 ROM like yours, then cab install everything possible to internal storage and move everything else possible there as well, in order to keep my system from getting critically low on main storage memory.
Yes, that is your best bet. You can put a ton of stuff in Internal Storage, so most of the things that are cooked into OMJs or Mighty's ROMs are unnecessary memory wasters.

The previous ROM had 81MB of Storage memory available. Not sure how PMD does it. I tried OMJs kitchen and stripped the file off almost everything I could conceivably do without or put into Internal Storage, and I didn't come close. So I gave up.

As for cab-installing things into Internal Storage: When you install, say, Skyfire, Opera Mobile 10, Sprint Navigation, Garmin XT, Call of Duty, Virtual Mobile Pool, into Internal Storage they install some stuff into Main Memory, even though they load perfectly fine JUST from Internal Storage. So, another flash is needed to remove Main Memory use while still having the program ready to go off Internal Storage. I have about 60 programs on
Internal Storage which don't need to be installed at all anymore, no matter how many flashes I perform, they are always ready to go immediately after any flash and aren't a draw on Main Memory. Unfortunately, many Gameloft games only work from Main Memory, so they have to stay outside.
