I have the 125-900 kernel and with this design it is fast on hungry apps but those that require on and off load it is choppy. Do you guys know of any apps with a small footprint that would keep the processor going at 500 and back down when not necessary so thinking that I would get rid of the choppyness in reaction time.
thanks

You might use the Titan's kernel which allows more granularity in choosing frequencies.

titans kernel with "ideal" settings has 500 idle and seems to me a much nicer option all round, less stuttering and believe it or not, better battery life too.
queen beecon can be used for simple commands as "widgets"
the things on the right are clock settings that i can alter just by pressing them. the black ones at the top and bottom show me what is running at the time, high and low mhz and they update by clicking or when the desktop is refreshed.

Don't you guys think constant 500 Mhz (almost max frequenz with standard kernel) would be bad for the CPU?

well, any overclocking will reduce life blah blah.......
but with the ideal settings my overclock is usually 850mhz this is running at the same voltage a stock n900 would use @ 500mhz.
"ideal" settings for min freq @ 500 is again a lower voltage than the default @ 250.
imho overclocking and undervolting if it works for you is pretty "safe" (if common sense is observed, funny thing about common sense tho, it aint that common.........)

HTML Code:
FREQUENCY   Nokia   LV    ULV   XLV   ideal
0 MHz       30      30    25    30    30
125 MHz     30      30    25    20    30
250 MHz     38      38    25    30    30
500 MHz     48      48    33    33    30
550 MHz    *54*     48    38    38    33
600 MHz     60     *54*   38    38    38
700 MHz             54    45    45    45
750 MHz             54    45    45    45
810 MHz             54    48    48    48
850 MHz             54    48    48    48
900 MHz             54   *54*  *54*  *54*
950 MHz             54    54    54    54
1000 MHz            60    60    60    60
1100 MHz            72    72    72    72
1150 MHz            72    72    72    72
1200 MHz            72    72    72    72
i think im right in saying that @ 600mhz the stock settings are considered an overvoltage, so running the default maxed out for long periods could be considered as bad..............

Locking the processor at 500/550/600 will fry the device!!!
Don't lock it, the device knows what to do on its own.

explain further please?
what are you basing this claim on?

afak many ppl are now clocking the device, some to stooopid levels, i know it's yet early days but are you not a little surprised even at these silly 850+ levels there have been no failures?

locking the processor @ 600...... so not good even at default settings to use the device for long periods with the processor maxed out??
so where do you draw the line? don't use the device at all for fear of shortening its life span somewhat??

i know my phone battery when idling is now stupidly loooong lasting, on default is was terrible....so more power was being used @ default idle, would this not be worse for the device also?

That's my opinion too.
250-900 with ideal voltages should be the best compromise.

Some Nokia Guy (?) at the Maemo Summit '09 explicitly said during one talk that locking the processor at its maximum (non-overclocked) speed will quickly kill it (I don't have the source here to quote from, unfortunately). Spend more time making your apps more efficient and less time overclocking the CPU (or thinking of locking the frequency, for that matter)
