You can easily adjust the frequency using the command line by adjusting the automatic frequency scaler.

Example:

echo 500000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

This will give you 500mhz max.

This can be helpful if you have a 900mhz kernel but you want to save battery and/or CPU life.

You can also use other values used in the kernel (example for 900mhz kernel: 125000, 250000, 500000, 550000, 900000)


Is this adjusting the clock at runtime? If yes, does it mean even with stock kernel, we can adjust to higher clock speed?

If yes, then someone could create a widget or something like the brightness applet, for owner to adjust the clock by simple touch. So, it can be adjust base on demand.
Example: when there's need for more processing power, just tap to higher clock speed.
After using, tap back to stock clock speed or lower.
(Something like the clock speed adjustment for PSP CFW).
