Just be careful to use stuff from trusted sources (such as the wikis, and the sticky threads in the developer's corner forum).
Even the best code can have slow memory and resource leaks, due to the way that amazon designed and implemented the kindles. Some of the leaks are in the amazon code. Even the best code available can have resource leaks, but they usually go unnoticed on desktop PCs that are not expected to run for weeks or months at a time without reboots.
In your kindle, you can check the amount of free memory in the settings menu, if you wish to manually restart before it locks up.

I only use my K4 for reading. The only hack if it could be called that is Calibre's Kindle Collections plugin to change to a custom font and margins.
