the deterioration of bluetooth mouse and -keyboard performance only happened once, after the first original pairing process after starting the 1.05 version of RemoteBuddy for the first time. 
What do I mean by loss of mouse and keyboard performance? I know, it sound weired. Imagine sitting on a ANSI terminal, connected to a mainframe with 75 baud and a slow echo. That means that I can type faster than the Mac displays the text I enter. Momentarily, speed seems ok, then for a fraction of a second no keysstrokes seem to get to the Mac, and after another fraction of a second, the cache spills out a couple of letters in a small chunk. 
For the Mouse, the experience is similar, but can be best compared with mouse movements during a slow VNC connection. The pointer just seems to drag behind a little. 
However, this never happened again. Turning the Mouse and Keyboard off and on again helped. 
I believe that this is problem within Apples bluetooth framework, though, as I sometimes experienced the same phenomenon while transfering files from my mobile using bluetooth file exchange.

Regarding waking up from sleep using the remote, I have a suggestion. It seems as RemoteBuddy uses the button I press on the remote while the Mac sleeps to trigger an action as soon as it wakes up. That is a bit problematic, as I don't know which behaviour is currently active (well, sleeping), and so unexpected things start to happen. It would be nice to use the same behaviour as the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse: Ignoring the first pressed button (or just using it to wake up).

The pairing between Mac and remote seems very stable, even after long sleeps. Only once I found my remote not connected to RemoteBuddy, but I cannot reproduce the situation. Clicking once on the red "Bluetooth Empfänger" entry in the RemoteBuddy menu (Mac menu bar) connected both again. With more experience I will be able to give more precise feedback.
