Suggest some alternative (less memory and power) plugins/apps? - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I'm going to do a hard reset and I've been considering trying to find lower memory alternatives to some of the plugins and applications I use. Less power use would be good too since right now I'm charging my phone several times a day.
Currently I run SPB Pocket Plus on the Today screen. I also use it's Close Button feature, Taskbar Battery Indicator, occasionally the Buttons, and the PIE and File Explorer add-ons are nice.
In the first tab of Pocket Plus I have SBSH Pocket Weather running with a custom theme and icons. I tried SPB Weather for awhile but it would not establish a data connection if one did not already exist so the automatic updates weren't working. The other tabs simply contain links to commonly used applications and Control Panel applets.
Under Pocket Plus I have Home Screen++ running with a custom theme just to display the full date, owner contact information (the Owner Info plugin takes too much space for me), message notifications (texts, email, missed calls, voicemail) and CPU usage, free memory, etc.
Under Home Screen++ I have SPB Diary to display my appointments and I like the little calendar that pops up when you click on the calendar tab. I also tried SBSH PocketBreeze (I think that was the name of their Diary clone) but it has display problems with Pocket Plus.
Other than Today plugins, I also have FTouchFlo running only for the ability to finger scroll in programs. I disabled all its other features. S2U2's iLock.exe runs in the background as well. I have a MortScript that kills S2U2.exe on bootup and when the phone is unlocked so the full-fledged app is only in memory when the phone is locked so it isn't taking too much memory but if anyone knows a screen locking program that takes less than 128k (this is not very much) while idle, I'll try it out.
Here's what my Today looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On bootup I have about 20-21 mb free on DCD 3.3.4 (which has 26-27mb free on boot by default).
I recently tried M2D and thought that was great except that it didn't have a decent calendar (only shows one item) so I can't use that. I tried SPB Mobile Shell with a M2D theme and it just wasn't the same at all. I don't like it. I also tried Throttle Launcher and found it to be much slower than Pocket Plus. I generally prefer functionality over looks so I don't need anything with fancy effects but M2D did look really nice and I do like a weather display with some nice graphics.
Thanks for the help all, apologies if this is the wrong place to post.
I still hate that roaming is enabled by default when I soft-reset the phone (you can see the icon).

I use PP 4.02 primarily, so this is my two cents:
Dump: Home Screen, Pocket Diary, Pocket Weather, today plugins in tabs, and touchflo
Substitute: Quickmenu (free) for battery/memory info (and many other lightweight features); TodayAgenda (free) for Pocket Diary; HTC Home and Customizer (free) for Pocket Weather and other stuff; and PP scrolling for Touchflo.
This should help battery and memory.
My today screenshot attached.
Hope it helps

Does the scrolling feature of Pocket Plus work in all apps? I got the impression it was only for the default File Manager, PIE, etc.
I'll take a look at what you've suggested. Thanks!

There's a pretty extensive list if you look in the Pocket Plus setup for that feature. Also, if you go to the SPB Club forums for pocket plus, there is a long thread about scrolling which covers how to go about enabling it through registry edits for many more apps. YMMV depending on what you need it for, but its a big savings in memory and performance, imo, vs touchflo.
P.S.- not this this is my dream setup by any means, but with the memory challenged Titan (even with the fantastic DCD 3.3.4 ROM), after many tries at other interfaces, I've come to accept the fact that I must forego things like Mobile Shell, Manilla, S2U2, etc, etc if I want the device memory to be sufficient for browsing, writing, push, gps, bluetooth, etc. without freeze ups or involuntary app closures. In a year or so when I upgrade, then I hope to do more cosmetically.

FTouchFlo appears to be only using 100KB of memory according to Task Manager... that doesn't seem like a whole lot but I'll look into PP.
