Working great, excellent work guys.
Latest defconoi posted ROM currently. It's amazingly fast, scary fast. I think it put a Nexus in my G1.

Just tips for G1 users, might help MT3G as well. I'm on SJ's latest, I'll try defconoi's when he uploads the fixed version.

JIT - It's helping me. You might not like it, but it's dead simple to turn on/off, so try it and see. You need to reboot for the setting to take effect. I'm not talking about MFLOPS or other benchmarks here, just totally subjective apps starting and running a little smother and faster. The browser really seems to get a kick out of it, but even without JIT, the froyo browser is much improved. RAM use does go up some with JIT, but according to the Google developers that wrote the thing, only about 10k per app. Larger apps will benefit more from it, and with most JITs, the longer the app runs, the faster it gets till it tops out. Not sure on the last bit for the Android JIT, but it would make sense as they work by profiling the app as it executes and optimizing the bytecode in the most executed code more aggressively. Note that the Froyo JIT is official, the one we were using for Donut and Eclair was not. The Froyo one is supposed to be much improved, and stable.

Swap - I have to turn it on manually right now, but it's worth it. My partition is 40MB and the system tends to top out using about 25MB of it. Helps keep things running. More is not better with swap, use sparingly if at all. Try it for a few hours or even a day before deciding, swap is notorious for starting out fast and slowing down over time. It's results depend a LOT on what apps you run and how you use your phone. So if it sucks for you, turn it off. It also seems to help a little with market FCs, but the market still crashes. Sounds like MT3G users don't have the market FCs, lucky bastards.

Compcache - The setting in "CyanogenMod Settings" doesn't work. I haven't tried to load it manually. It's never really worked well for me over time. It tends to bog down faster than swap for me. Others like it better than swap. Try it for yourself and make your own call. Again, let it run for at least a few hours before making a decision on it.

ADWLauncher - I turn off the animations and turn the delays and overshoot down as far as they will go. I also make the drawer background flat black with no transparency. Makes for a VERY fast launcher. I also set the "System persistent" option in "System Preferences". That seems to help keep Android from killing it off. Returning to home is damn near instant now.

System animations (Settings->Display->Animation) is set to "No Animations". Again, makes things faster and I get bored watching the redraws.

Just things that have helped me make Froyo a daily driver build on my G1. The current pace of this stuff is amazing. Great work from everyone involved. I haven't seen any reason to drop back to CM5. I do need to look into the BT phone audio thing though. If I can fix that, it would be near perfect.
