First, yes it really works well for when you need a burst of speed.
Second, it does hit the fuel gauge pretty hard: it will have your battery for breakfast, and leave you hungry for lunch and dinner.
I think most people just run xcpuscalar when they want a boost, then turn it off. If you do run it DO NOT USE autoscale - it fights with the 6700s native scaling.
I personally use autostep for everyday use with no problems, it's not nearly as hard core, but it speeds things up a bit, is free, and doesn't have any negative side effects for me. (some people have said they get more lockups w/ autostep). If you are interested, you can find it on the FTP, or in the dowloads section.
