Fidelity had a similarly terrible password policy (6-12 characters, only letters and numbers). I complaining to their tech six months ago and got a stock "we're looking into it" answer. In the past month they've actually fixed the issue and now require 6 characters (upper case, lower case, number and symbol).

After getting frustrated with Evernote being slow and buggy I switched to Simplenote (http://simplenote.com/).

It's simple, fast and seamless. You start typing and it automatically syncs your note for you. It does one thing that does it well. That being said it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that Evernote does (audio notes, OCR, etc).

I haven't done any load testing on this app in particular since it's pretty low volume. However on another high-traffic Rails app I did some benchmarking and found Unicorn to have a 10% faster response time and much less variance at the high end. Obviously YMMV.
