Icon3 Tried out several combos...

I'm using the latest version of Wisbar Advance 2(v2.6). My initial plan was to install these 3 today screen plug-ins together: Wisbar Advance 2, SPB Pocket Plus, and SPB Diary. The system lag was HUGE. I then tried installing these combos(with a good old hard reset between attempts):

(1)WA2 + SBSH Pocket Breeze + iLauncher + Magic Button (a little slow, has a VERY bad habit of getting stuck in the Programs menu and the only way to resolve the problem is with a soft reset. I understand this is a problem of many task manager plug-ins, but didnt see it in Pocket Plus).

(2)WA2 + SBSH Pocket Breeze + SPB Pocket Plus (Not very different from what i started with- significant system lag)

(3)Pocket Breeze + iLauncher + Magic Button(noticeable system slowdown immediately after a soft reset which goes away after a while. Also gets stuck in the Programs screen very frequently)

(4)Pocket Plus + SPB Diary(Slower soft reset, unlike combo 4 there is a LASTING lag on the system...tolerable, but still noticeable.

As you might have guessed, what I need is a today screen plugin package that can display my PIM information, launch programs from the today screen, and close the programs properly(not just minimize them. In the end, I settled for combo number 3 because it seemed to be the speediest and I liked the Magic Button taskbar that allows me to switch programs with just a single click.

Any other combos you guys think I should try or want me to try? I'll post the results here as soon as i can, which might be a while since I've got lots on my hands ATM.

Is there anyway I can stop Magic button from getting stuck in the Programs menu. This is by far my biggest frustration with the program. If only it didn't do this I would rate the program as perfect. Any alternative programs(freeware/commercial) which don't have the bug? I've heard bout vBar, but don't know if it causes this too.
