This is something i noticed with my device, the screen protector iv had it on ever since i got my mda vario III, today i removed it cose there was dust collecting at the edges of the screen where it couldn't reach as its smaller than the screen then i notice the device was performing alot faster to make sure i wasn't just seeing things i tried playing a game of FPSEce before all were really slow average 10fps when actually playing now i get it around 20fps :eek: the game was actually playable not perfectly of course but still alot better. Again this is a possible effect of the lack of drivers if we get screen protector companies on your side who knows i mean who would buy one if it slowed down their ppc which would lower their business.

Lol , the only conclusion i can give you is that your screen protector was actually continuously pushing the touch screen somewhere.
Resulting in the ever lasting htc touchscreen driver bug eating cpu cycles.
You can always check this with an app that shows cpu usage.

Batterystatus used to show it as low

The screenprotector does not weigh enough to be able to create a force large enough to activate the screen.
Here is a different theory: the screen protector does not let heat to diffuse through the screen, outside. Hence, the device become warmer, and the CPU throttle down...

It does if it goes under an edge... my touch stopped working, cause it got slipped under the edge and therefore was exerting force on the screen.

this is impossible because our screens are only single touch, if it was always being pressed then that means the press from out finger or stylus wouldnt work or it wouldnt press most of the time. you would find it very messed up. havnt u ever tried pressing in 2 places on the screen with a paint program or drawing just for fun?

i could see the screen protector "pressing" on the screen if it was stretched or shrunken.
however, have you ever taken a ball point pen and tried to write on a stack of papers? you eneded up with a clear "dent" on the second page, but a barely visible "dent on the third. the screen protectors make the screen less sensitive because it's just another layer. try doubling the sensitivity in your registry from 7000 to 14000 and see if it helps a little. (or the oil from your skin will eventualy collect enough dust, that if you do any heavy literary work on your PPC; you will surely wear out your screen)
I have a couple of light scratches on my screen from drawing; so i prefer the screen is less exact, but protected.
(keep in mind you create friction when you run plastic on plastic; and friction creates heat, brazing the tip of your stilus, ocasionaly making it sharper than it should be.)
I suppose thats how I see it.
