I've got iSMS running on my N97. Now what I need to do is turn the phone's message notification on the home screen off. The bit where your homescreen blanks and you get the "New Message" and the soft buttons to view or cancel.

Yes they do run in the background to monitor incoming and outgoing messages. However, with iSMS, I've not noticed any "slowing" of the phone.
