I've tried most of the 'brands' here, but always go back to SSK. His ROMs, especially with the XIP's tweaked by FormerPalmOS, always run very fast, very stable, and with way more free RAM than anyone elses. Yet they dont seem to sacrifice anything. I dont know why no one else can eeke out as much free RAM.

I've also tried a LOT of builds, and I always go back to 20954. 20954 benchmarks the highest, loads up \Windows\ in File Explorer in like 1.5 secs with Show All Files checked, rotates the screen instantly on keyboard out, and has the most free RAM at boot.

To the original poster, GREAT post. maybe you could add some tests like graphics or file system benchmarks. I use SK Tools trial app to benchmark.
