First of all, I would get yourself on a custom ROM. MikG3.11 is very nice. It has an upgraded version of the sense interface and other mods like a hacked sprint hotspot.
Custom kernels play more of a role than apps as far as battery life goes. Once you get set up with a custom ROM we will worry about custom kernels.
As far as getting S-ON... no, don't do that yet. S-ON isn't enough to fool sprint into not knowing your rooted (Ex-Your H-boot version has changed, you have a custom recovery, ect). It wouldn't hurt to download the S-ON file and the RUU for later use, but don't use them.
MikG download link:

Superwipe Download link:

To install:
Reboot into Recovery
Make a nandroid if you haven't already(if you have continue)
Select wipe
Wipe everything except for SD card AKA wipe data, system, boot, cache, dalvik cache, SD-EXT and SD-android-secure at least once each. 2X to make sure they're good and clean
Back out to the main recovery menu
Select flash zip from sd card
Choose zip from SD card
Flash the superwipe file
Flash MikG3.11
Hurayyyy
so i gotta download both these files or just the superwipe?

Well that really depends on what your wanting to do.
Next steps as far as getting better performance/battery life would be to download SetCPU from the market (Theres a free version available I can get you if you want to test it out, but if you like the app I'd suggest supporting the dev by purchasing it) as well as installing a custom kernel.
Doing so will allow you to overclock the phone (better performance) or underclock it (better battery life)

Aggressive Freedom (I get great battery life with this):

Anthrax (decent battery life, great performance):

Many people overclock the CPU and then set the governor to keep the CPU at low speeds until it is needed.
As with all kernels, your mileage may vary.. What works for me does not guarantee similar results for you.

Thats probably more to do with the radios than anything else. The better signal you have, the faster it will be.
You can update radios, but if the battery comes out of the phone while doing so your device will be bricked.
There are scripts and other tweaks you can run that supposedly help, but idk how well they work

you flash them. and you only have to wipe dalvik cache and cache. there is no need to wipe data with flashing kernels. also it is a good idea to make a nandroid backup vefore flashing a kernel.

Correct. Every time you nandroid do the first three boxes. Wimax is optional but I would recommend.
Check SD-EXT if your SD card is partioned
not sure where to find it but i would head on over to xda and do a search there. i bought setcpu right after i rooted my phone. and you should just buy it anyways. it is worth the money.
