That's not true at all. The ONLY reason it clocks down to 250mhz is to save power. Nothing else.
When I play videos on my N900, it runs at 600mhz constant. For hours. Zero issue.

If what you said was true, it would be very scary indeed and every N900 is 100% guaranteed to crash/fail very often.
I can only assume that you obviously don't know about overclocking and how CPU's are manufactured.
