My iPhone was (almost) as slow as yours seems to be. Same firmware, and I wondered the same thing.. I tried deactivating winterboard stuff and uninstalling some apps.. but it only improved the situation slightly. In the end I backed everything important up via ssh and did a total reset/upgrade to 2.2. I’m running a few winterboard mods now and it’s fast as **** so far
I’m really hoping it’s the 2.2 firmware thats doing it, and that it wont “degenerate” with time.. :S

my 2.1 first gen iphone is sooooo slow lately and i am not sure why this is happening. Would it be because of Winterboard and themes etc? I click on the sms app icon and it takes about 30 seconds before the screen is visible for me to start to txt. It also takes about 20 sec of long delays when typing a message before it then catches up with itself!! Please – any suggestions you may have I am ready to try. I hate waiting for apps to open!!!

Hmmm, maybe. I have never submitted any of them for download. We’ll see.

If you want, you can send your themes to themes@appleiphoneschool.com and can do a post about them. It is up to whether you want to share them or not.

You know, everyone keeps making these “themed” themes like Xmas, a sports team, etc., but none of them actually put any work into it. The replacement icon for SMS should have something to do with SMS, whether it be Santa with a bubble or something like that. What does a gingerbreadman have anything to do with texting? You should be able to just take a quick glance at the icon and know what you’re clicking, not have to actually stop to read the title underneath.

I have been making a few themes for me and my friends, and although it takes a little longer, I think it makes a big difference.
