I find it hard to believe that nokia will keep optimizing maemo5 when they're migrating towards meego.
And higher clock frequenzy doesn't necessarily increase the power consumption on a mobile device as much as it does on pc.
Overclockin a device like this would only push the highest available frequency so it would consume more power, but it would do so in shorter perioids.
