According to several voice 125MHz doesn't make sense and only destabilizes.

cpufrequtils does not contain a daemon, but a startup script. it should not override any settings.
I've been running the kernel since this morning, set @800mhz max and periodically monitoring the output of cpufreq-info. It appears to be spending some time in 250mhz now, not sure why it wasn't before (especially after a fresh reboot and not running any other applications other than terminal)

I'm going to go with this kernel all day/night and report back here tomorrow after monitoring battery usage though 'battery eye'. It would seem that a 30% increase in clock speed (from 600 to 800) would significantly impact battery life, but I cannot seem to find any accounts of it in the massive N900 OC thread.
