I have been looking for something similar myself but haven't found anything other than a task-killer which doesn't really re-start.

I've been using fast reboot which seems to work OK.....I think, it doesn't actually reboot the phone like, its more like a complete task killer that kills almost everything (including some of the core stuff) and freshes the phone, I get about most of my ram freed up (240mb) and the phone starts to run smooth again, but sometimes I still prefer to do a manual power down and up again.

Yeah, it works great but needs root. With Universal Androot it is so easy to root, plus you can use Barnacle Wifi Tether (You have to find the .apk as its blocked in the market on Att 1.6.
