We show a general relation between fixed point stability of suitably perturbed transfer operators and convergence to equilibrium (a notion which is strictly related to decay of correlations). We apply this relation to deterministic perturbations of a large class of maps with indifferent fixed points. It turns out that the $L^1$ dependence of the a.c.i.m. on small suitable deterministic changes for these kind of maps is H\"older, with an exponent which is explicitly estimated.
