Okay well considering this is a "Droid Forum", I thought this would be implied. My apologies.

No need to apologize... it's late, sometimes the sillyness comes out.
What specifically are you looking to improve on your Droid?
Are you rooted?
If so... what ROM are you running?
... are you overclocked?
... what kernel are you using?
just a few questions to get you started.

I know this is annoying, but can you explain the questions?

Yes I can
root = (the title is not directed toward you, it's the actual thread title) http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/632-what-root-means-stop-asking.html
also a good thread here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/11102-all-one-popular-threads-read-before-posting.html
ROMs are custom built versions of the OS that our great community of developers create for us.
Overclocking is increasing the stock kernel speed (which is 550mhz) up to speeds of 1.25ghz. Custom kernels are needed, usually ROM specific.

And what does that do exactly?

Not sure what this is, but if it is some sort of task killer then get rid of it as well as anything like Advanced Task Killer if you have it. Also remove any AntiVirus program you may have. You will see your performance and battery life go up.
Aside from that, as other have said rooting and overclocking will probably give you the biggest bang for your buck.

Yeah I was actually curious about this. I have heard both sides of the argument and can't decide which one is right. Does having Advanced Task Killer help battery life by ending apps, or does having it on your phone take up more battery than it saves?
