I think this is expected behavior - kinda drove me nuts how often the screen turned on in WinMo (seemed to turn on for almost any reason in WinMo, even changing cell towers seemed to wake the screen in WinMo) and in Android it seems to only wake for calls - again, I think this is a feature so you don't end up doing things on the screen when you receive a sms or calendar alert - I personally like it .

Interesting to note, I believe the screen does wake on normal alarm alerts...

As you mentioned before, it's most likely not using the latest HD graphics implementation as FRX06 is; I believe tiad8's Froyo X builds were like Cherry Pie and hence seem to be a little faster in response and slightly more smooth. But stability is a big concern with those builds and Cherry Pie so I'm going back to FRX06 Was just trying different builds.
Yea, MDPI I think is the reason it feels snappier. I've noticed Launcher2 is kinda a drag too, I've noticed the aftermarket launchers are smoother - been liking ADW EX (this version is paid) recently.

Yea, the end key is different and I guess it's going to have to wait until userland has a hook for it. Userland should handle it anyways, and getting it to work in kernel only is going to involve some hackish methods that aren't going to fly .

So, for now we have button lights - partially. Not sure how long before userland tweaks are done.

I've noticed the last couple occasionally stop typing with the hard kb and I need to close it and reopen it to type again, nothing else seems to work. Loving the new lights too. Getting fewer and fewer failed wakes, had another this morning even using Highlandsun's latest RIL, but they are clearly getting fewer and farther between.

Edit: And hopefully I don't curse myself, but haven't had a reboot since 3/30 kernel!
Glad it's working well for you... Because I have yet another, even better kernel for wakes. WisTilt2 said he found an irq set wrong that was related to the tssc - touchscreen basically - that's why touching the screen would cause it to wake... New kernel up, w00t!
