I installed this one and my phone has come back to life. I think my main slowdown issues before were due to a combination of Sense 2.5 and Cookie home tab.
While I miss some of the features of 2.5 and Cookie, the speed greatly outweighs missing those updated features. Our phones weren't intended to run Sense 2.5 and the lower spec hardware compared to native 2.5 phones (i.e. HD2) makes a difference.
For anyone that has been using 2.5 for a while, I dare you to go back to a Sense 2.1 based ROM and get back the responsiveness you may have forgotten existed.

I pre-ordered my Evo last Friday! lol Can't wait to get it!!! I flashed back to 2.1 for the hell of it, and it is a considerable difference - forgot how fast my phone could be!
edit: Chris, kimi_sae_ireba over at XDA a while back ported the mail and the calendar tab from 2.5 to 2.1 - it would be awesome if you could get those in your 2.1 ROM!
edit 2: found the cab for the 2.5 email port (cab attached to post), still looking for the calendar port.
edit 3: here's the files needed for the 2.5 calendar tab on 2.1:
