I'm pretty good with computers, and this being a "Pocket PC," I assumed the more things you put on your device (like the hard drive) would take it longer to reach the files it needs to launch an app. But I also didn't want to do what Kliptik said, I don't wanna accidentally install something to the SD that NEEDS to be on the device, because I flash so much, I just hit "Install" when anything pops-up because I always install the same things over and over.
I think I'll either take a look at a clean ROM, such as XYC's, and do my own installing/skinning, or look into the ROM Schooling and take some of my spare summer time to learn to create my own ROM. Maybe this is the beginning of a new chef?
