Saving Programs to SD Card

I had a question about installing programs I download to my PPC 6700 and you guys here are pretty darn sharp so I figured I would ask . I always save programs to my SD card and then install them to the device because I thought it would make the programs run smoother. Is this correct? I have found what I think to be a nice mix of programs that work for my needs (I have done about 5 hard resets to start over ) and my memory is hella low now. These are the programs I have:
Palm Messaging (I love the threaded texting)
Sprint PCS Business Connection (need this for work)
Calendar Plus
Phone Alarm trial (I probably will buy the app cuz I like this download a lot)
Microsoft .Net CF 2.0 (about 5 Megs are on my phone)
Agile Mobile
Saman SMS Delivery Fix (do I need this with the new Threaded SMS App?)
PPC Geeks ApacheHax
Magic Button
Speed Dialer (shows up in programs as TofClock Today Plugin)
About 5 Megs of Ringtones

Are any of these ok to install directly to the SD card in order to save space on the main memory? I appreciate any help you guys can provide ...and let me know if their are any other programs that you think I should try, since I will hopefully be doing my last hard reset for a LONG time in the next few days here

there is a compiled list of programs that you can install without any problem on the memory card. I think it was malatesta who typed it out.

Some apps are better off to install on the actual phone since they require a lot of constant reading at many times!

rule of thumb if u use it alot, or its on the today screen install to the main memory. others can be installed to the minisd. also the compact .net framework can be installed to the card also with no issues, here @ list.

What I like to consider if I need to put a program on main memory is:

If a program starts or reacts by looking for input/information most/all programs on the today screen are, then it need to be placed on main memory.

Such as "RingTones"...they should be placed in main memory..why...well...when the phone gets a call it wakes up...then looks for the ring tone...if it is on th SD...then it needs to turn on the SD card and activate/play the tone....and guess what...1 to 2 or maybe 3 rings have gone by on the other end and your phone is just starting to ring, also freezes/problems will happen, I known it is all about saving space, but "RingTones" really need to be placed in main memory.

Also the SCI will play a role on when the phone will wake up.
