Ways to optimize the stock ROM

Alright, so I just wanted to start a thread, where we can outline our experience in optimizing the stock rom (2.73).
For instance I am trying to do the following stuff:
  • use only the programs I need
  • leave as much free memory on the phone as I can
  • disable auto updates I don't need (like weather)
  • disable the WiFi, gps and mobile internet when not using
I could say that the phone is doing ok ... well it lags a bit
The only concern I have is when I leave the phone locked for some time and when I need to use It the first minute or two are q pain - everything lags awfully and after that It fixes by itself.
I am not uaing a task killer, cos I founs that the phone lags less (might be just a feeling but its a good feeling :)).
I would appreciate any comments and personal experience on that one and maybe a solution for the lag when the phone is not used for a while... :)
