What could be the reason for placebo effect (i.e. speedup of the system reported by some users) is that speedpatch (along with batterypatch) has a new version almost every day and as it requires a reboot, here it is, speedpatch/batterypatch users have uptime no more than 48 hours, so effects like swap fragmentation does not appear.
AIUI those scripts play with two things based on whether device is locked or not: 1. vfs_cache_pressure 2. CPU clocks

Your latest batterypatch requires KP49, ain't? And enables SmartReflex? Well, it is SmartReflex that increases battery life, not your trickery with CPU frequencies and dbus-monitoring whether device is locked or not
in offline mode,device with KP49, dsp profile 125-805 has standby current of: xx mA without batterypatch xx mA with batterypatch
the same device running abc background task has current of:
Only by making such measurements you can prove batterypatch does anything but problems.
