Huh? there are thousands! just download stuff you will need and will use and you'll be fine just try not to download loadsa stuff that with run in the background.

All i have is SBSettings, PDANet and Cycorder and i dont see any lag.

Winterboard will cause lag tho.

winterboard and categories are the only apps i've found with noticable lag. and categories only takes a while to open a folder. everything else is the same.

It might be my imagination, but freshly restored iPhones with the minumum amount of apps loaded on them always seem spiffier, whether jailbroken or not. Then it seems to get a bit sluggish as I add more apps, whether it is just the official ones from the app store or I'm also adding jb ones from Cydia.

A hard reset (hold home and sleep/wake until phone resets) will always make the phone run quicker. I do it at least a couple times a week.

I'm sure there are many that don't cause lag but I think it is a bunch of them together that causes the lag. Add a visual feature, or three and you will eventually see your phone starting to be slower and slower. Even with only the lock screen calendar my phone was noticeably laggy.

Generally, the self-contained apps won't affect your general usage, but the MobileSubstrate system-extensions wil cause just a bit (obviously as there are extra processes running all the time).
