Interesting...

I tried that acbpowermeter and it reports that for every two minutes on 30% backlight and underclocked to 208 mhz I use 6 mAh whereas closing out the XCPUscalar completely I only use 3 mAH / 2 minutes.

Keeping XCPUscalar opened and on the default 412 mhz still uses 5 mAh.

It may appear that my perception of better battery life came from my lower backlight settings which I enabled at the same time I began underclocking.

But, then again that test was only for 2 minutes. Although slim, it might prove to show that over longer periods of time it will show the opposite is true, especially with backlight off or in standby mode. Which makes me ask when the phone is in standby is underclocking relevant?

Also, is there some way to disable the internal scaling mechanism or modify it?

btw it's saqer
