I never run any other applications. The main slow-down I am referring to isn't even Palringo--although it does seem to slow things down.

Anytime I get a push email, or my phone checks on a scheduled interval, the phone becomes a great deal less-responsive. I'd estimate 50% slower. This makes screen taps not register unless I hold it for longer, like 300ms instead of 50-100ms. In my favorite keyboard, PCMKeyboard, this means I have to type only one letter per every 1.5 seconds or so, otherwise it doesn't register my keypress. Very annoying.

I have experienced this problem on four different Vogues, and on about 30-40 ROMs, some official, and most not.

Are you guys seriously saying that if you are typing a text message, and you get an INCOMING text message, that your phone does not slow down AT ALL? For me, on each and every phone, (I think I've seen it on my friends 6700, and a few WM smartphones as well,) but the phone nearly locks up, right before the phone alerts you of a text message...

I've gotten used to it mostly, and I just stop typing until I get the alert. This usually only takes a few seconds, then I can dismiss the alert.

My latest problem seems to be with Palringo, or maybe it's DH's 2.9.6 version--but I get slowdowns for seemingly no reason. It could be the Sprint Mobile Email client checking mail or something, (but I thought it was text-based.)

I'm not sure about the latter slowdown issues, but I sure as hell know that when my phone gets a text or email, it slows way the hell down...

I think it is the data connection as previously mentioned. It seems to take a huge priority over everything else.

I'll be first in line to get the Touch Pro... I had fun with my Vogue, but I think it's just a tad too slow for me. I like all the visual goodies, (a reason why I chose DH's ROM,) and I don't think the Vogue CPU can handle that, especially with no real video drivers...
