After playing with WM6.5 can't decide if it's better for me

[azrael201]

i'm trying to get my flashing and tweaking in before school really gets hectic but the only programs i really need working is Epocrates Essential and iGuidance. I haven't tried Epocrates on WM6.1 but i don't remember iGuidance being this slow. Epocrates on Titan is a slug compared to the iTouch/iPhone version and a turtle compared to Palm.

Is WM6.1 still the better choice if i want just clean smooth speed? I do appreciate the thumb friendliness of 6.5 and IE6 but after installing epocrates and IG09...the menu started getting really cluttered (any way to manage this?), IG09 can only run by itself (as in i don't think i can use the phone at the same time).

I am currently using bbsandkim's build but am i the only person that feels this way? I already feel this build is pretty lean i can't imagine building my own any faster. Opinions?
