So if you OC to 600 or 700 mhz, chances are it can operate at 480mhz 50% of the times and you won't notice any difference between the 2 OC speeds. There's a utility called setcpu that allows you to have more control of this "throttling" or "scaling" action; you can find it somewhere on Xda for free; or pay $2 to get it on the market. For example if I use setcpu to set it to use a "performance" profile, I can force the cpu to operate at 700mhz all the time and actually get a score of 630 using quadrant. Then again, leaving it like this will kill my battery life quickly.

I'm pretty sure SetCPU support isn't in our kernel right now, I know ACL wanted to put it in for NAND but hasn't yet afaik.
