The whole idea of flashing to 6.1 is a placebo effect. I think there is a reason why it's a.1 upgrade, it's just not worth it.
Flashing is easy and you are hard pressed to brick your device even if you try. I've been using windows mobile since Pocket PC 2000 and have seen the OS grow. Have also done my fair share of flashing thanks to the great brains on XDA-Dev but for those on the fence about flashing to 6.1, take it from me; don't waste your precious 10 mins of life on it.

I completely disagree dude! Memory management and device responsiveness have both been improved upon from 6.0 to 6.1...although I don't know if any thorough quantitative testing has been done to establish the memory management point. Total available memory may look to be lower at first blush but the current belief is that the 6.1 OS is caching and managing in the background.
This still can be a pain when certain programs don't realize this and as such expect an absolute number for available memory (e.g. a program will not even launch if it detects that, say, 5 megs of memory is not openly available, regardless of how WM6.1 will allocate it). Does that make any sense?
