just an FYI to others out there who may have had the same issues - the EB16 kernel (me voodoo version) appears to have resolved two problems i've been experiencing (and troubleshooting to no avail):
(1) ADW EX has been lagging big-time whenever it reloads after the FASN8 awoke from sleep, or transitioning from app drawer to home screen, etc; and
(2) Beautiful Widgets was flat out not working - i continuously got this error message: "Please remove and re-add this widget for the upgrade, thank you! (Long press on me, drag to the trash)" - it seemed the latest BW update did not play nice with the previous SC embedded kernel i was using. When I re-add the widget I get the changelog and have to redo my settings; its as if i just installed it.
i tried numerous troubleshooting techniques (reinstalling, wiping cache, option tweaks, etc.) but no worky. I was hoping a new kernel would save the day and it has: ADW EX is silky smooth and happy now, as is Beautiful Widgets.
So, broken record, thanks again to Adrynalyne/jt/etc, this kernel is getting along real nice with Super Franken-shteen Clean 2.9.1. and it's app childrens.

****UPDATED 3/18: I stand, errr sit, corrected: the issues have returned,:-! albeit at a much less frequent rate. I have a lot more playing/troubleshooting to do to figure out what's driving this. As of now I suspect memory management issues - the symptoms make sense. Adrynalyne listed a tweak to lowmemkiller which might explain the improvement. What the hell do I know? Trial and error, trial and error, ad infinitum.
****UPDATED 3/23: OK, it appears the 2 problems above have all but disappeared...almost.
ADW EX prob: I noticed, to my chagrin, that i still had old ADW installed as well as Launcher Pro. I was using Home Switcher and switching back and forth between launchers to see what i liked better. I decided to uninstall ADW (old) and Launcher Pro and that seemed to have fixed the ADW EX lag big time. I'm guessing it was remnants of the old ADW that were still getting loaded into memory that was stepping on the toes of ADW EX and making it lag.
The slow to load issue now only happens upon a reboot, which is totally acceptable.
BW prob: This problem has also virtually disappeared. I now only get the widget problem upon rebooting. And again like always, i get the changelog and have to redo my settings as if i just installed the app.
It seems quite possible the uninstalling of extra launchers i described above could have helped with the BW problem. But I also updated the kernel to EC10 as well.
Anyway, lesson learned: having mulitple versions of launchers installed simultaneously is probably not a good idea.
