Perhaps your list is more informative as to what you DON'T have listed!
I have TWO (2) N800's.
One has all of my applications on it the other is essentially BARE (OS only).
The difference in speed between them is significant and agrees with your observations.
Too much installing/uninstalling applications which may or may not be "well-behaved" (in terms of cleaning up after themselves!) can have a negative affect on performance.
There are one or two applications that I have on my "fully-loaded" N800 which I suspect are the main culprits in some of my problems: speed during browsing and making a reliable WiFi connection. I won't mention them here as I haven't been able to draw a conclusion yet.

Xournal isn't in diablo extras yet... You'll need to add the chinook extras repository in order for it to show up as installable. Although, you might want to disable it after you install xournal. It could cause some library problems.
http://repository.maemo.org/extras
chinook
free non-free
(I don't remember what the field names are, and I'm too lazy to get my tablet and look :P)

that would only clear out the backup deb files. and those are stored on the internal memory card these days.
there is a apt-get autoremove that will clean out libs that are not used by any installed apps, iirc.
i have lately noticed that my tablet virtually hangs when working with the app manager. im starting to wonder if whatever database the package system uses, has gotten fragmented or something...

Got Xournal, Thanks
Part of my problem was not knowing what I could safely remove. There where lots of dependancies which don't identify themselves well.

i do not think its a repo thats at fault, as it seems to trigger when all the repos have been "updated" and the info is to be integrated with existing data...

I do seem to have too many repos, possibly some duplicates which I've heard can cause issues.
So this weekend I backed up my files and reflashed... I then manually installed only the programs that I have used for the last month, and what a difference it has made! The N810 is quick and brilliant once more, I really can't recommend doing this enough.
I even dragged back the reference files for Claws, Skype, Gftp, and Erminig so that I didn't have to re enter information. It took a few hours but was well worth it.
I know have, in no particular order:
Claws mail
Easy debian
OpenSSH
flip clock
The GPE Suite
Load applet
Advanced backlight
console tools
Gftp
Leafpad
Hex a hop
Skype
Maemo Mapper
Pidgin
Stardict
Evince
Maemopad plus
Maemo recorder
Wifi info
Xarchiver
Personal menu
Vagalume
Mplayer
And still have 55mb free on the main drive! I never got above 20mb with all the other stuff I used to install.
Just need to find Xournal again and I will be set.
Hopefully this might help someone else.
