Well, I have done it quite similar that you did.
I only didn't use doom kernel for partitioning sd card.
My class 10 8gb has second partition of 1gb ext3, that is enough for my use.
In lupus menu through TE I have CACHE 1024. Don't know what is your value... ?!?
Now I have installed around 40 apps. most of them i have greenefied.
I experience modest lag.

Before I had 3 times the same configuration and tested performance on around 80 apps. There was heavy lag. Even When I uninstalled most of apps. :rolleyes:

I always format everything. I have 3 peaces of 8gb SD cards that have myself tested R/W speeds around 20/12 mb/s.
I formatted them 7/1 and 6/2 ... doesn't matter.

Now I experience lag, when using internet browser and someone calls me, or if I want to make call... when using numpad, there is lag. I also have to wait to respond to call.
So my arc s is not even close to speed monster. :confused:

After all that you have written, you didn+t mention nothing about tweaking cpu speed...

On my last flash and install I haven't tweaked cpu, cause I experienced heat on the back side of phone and no noticeable advance in speed.

Now I'm flashing again... this time with 32gb SD class 10 with max speeds of around 36mb/s-17mb/s, r-w. I formatedit 27,5gb fat32 / 2 gb ext3.

still don't know if 1024 should be max cache value for ext3... in lupus through terminal emulator...

to install custom kernels you need to unlock your bootloader (can do it officially from sony)
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
after this its need to install kernale manually via cmd OR flashtool, there plenty of tutorials in ARC forum how to do this
good luck !
How to enter this menu via terminal emulator for Legacy kernel.
you can enter recovery (kernel menu) via:
reboot menu --> reboot device --> rboot to recovery (need be activated 1st in dev settings "show more reboot options")
or press CONTINUESLY volume down on very 1st boot screen (legacy xperia)

good luck!

Instead of flashing the Doom kernel to partition the SD card, or using Minitool, is it possible to partition it on a computer using gparted? Also, is the LUPUS kernal flashed using fastboot, or can it be flashed in CWM?
