Not specifically 2/3-days of uptime, but my N900 generally gets sluggier with time. Especially after I do something that requires a lot of memory, e.g. visit a large website. > > > There is semi-identified problem > > > with hildon-home hogging CPU time for few seconds on each wakeup from > > > standby I haven't noticed that; have noticed hildon-thumbnailer burning CPU for no apparent reason occasionally. > This doesn't make me too confident in upgrading to 1.1.1. I haven't noticed any regressions after the upgrade; all firmware versions get noticeably sluggier when you run out of memory. (Note that after a fresh boot with hundreds of megs of swap used the UI is still snappy; it's after a large app pushes essential bits of the OS into swap that leaves the UI a bit struggling, even after you close that large app -- the OS bits are swapped-in incrementally on demand, so expect occasional pauses.) Then there's bug https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5712 which I haven't encountered lately (I'm not using ad-hoc wifi any more). > Are there *any* real benefits in upgrading?

There's a changelog on the wiki: http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_5/PR1.1.1 The most noticeable thing (to me) is the changed on-screen virtual keyboard: gestures no longer work, instead you can change the key you're pressing by tapping and dragging.
