This makes things a lot more snappy. Battery life will suffer accordingly, but this is the little blue pill for your limp little tablet.

To come down off your high, run this script:

cpu-ondemand
Code:
echo ondemand >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
My tests have shown that this can make even desktop apps like OpenOffice usable on the tablet.

So while most of us have to wait a loooong time for OMAP3, we might as well push our old OMAP2 as hard as they'll go!

(thanks, lcuk, for the tip!)
Am I sensing some Pandora regret in your posts already?
