Jailbrake -What Features for Ipad

I don't really care much for backgrounding, themes or SBSettings of the sort. The only reasons I want to JB my iPad is for LockInfo and to load pirated apps. ONLY to try them out (if there is no lite version). It's what I do on my iPhone, I load an app and if I like it, I buy it.
It's been a lifesaver on my wallet. Buying apps that I would actually use rather than buying it and finding out that it's not what I was looking for.

If you do nothing but download tons of themes and apps, then yes, it will get sluggish. If you have a lot of processes running in the background, it will obviously use memory and bog down the RAM.
If you are somewhat selective with what you download (once the jb is available), then you will be fine. It may take some tweaking to find your perfect set up, but I guarantee you it will be well worth the effort
Also, if you jailbreak your iPhone, you can turn it into a WiFi hotspot using MyWi ($10 app in Cydia). It will save you $130+$30/mo compared to buying a 3G iPad, and you won't be paying AT&T twice
like on a computer unless you install tons of things that run in the backround it wont do anything.

Ok, so just common sense stuff.
I plan on jail breaking just for some settings stuff and multitasking, but I'm not the kind of person to have 5+ apps running at once..more like 2-3. I'm not big on themes either, I still use a stock wallpaper on my G5 Mac.
And I already bought the 3G iPad even though I would like MyWi too...but having the 3G iPad gives me more options in case my phone is low on battery or whatever the case may be.
And yet people jailbroke the iPhone and iPhone 3G. Do you remember how slow they were? People even saying that summerboard/winterboard didn't slow down their iPhone. Oh how I chuckled.
Read the thread please before you go creating some conversation in your head with bits and pieces of responses.

yes! my 3G is super slow right now. reason i cannot wait to jb my ipad. cant wait to see 256 RAM
Except, you know, it's not a lie. Depending on what you install on your iPhone, it definitely slows it down. Winterboard noticeably slowed my iPhone 3GS down. I also hated how it made my switching pages on the springboard not as smooth.
This would be the biggest reason for me to JB. Do you have any quick link to save me some times from Goggle'ing ?
It's already happened before the jailbreak. Someone is running Win XP on the iPad. In general we'll see all the OS's running on it I'm sure, Windows, OSX, Linux etc.
It's gonna be interesting to see what people do with this.
