Note that when you overclock, it doesn't mean that it will always be at that overclocked speed; it will throttle between 122mhz and the OC speed, deeping on the work load; this is done on purpose for improving battery life, like a laptop. 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.
