Updated to the kernel from extras-testing, and still running comfortably at 900mhz. The inclusion of idling at 125mhz would be nice, it's set as such in pmconfig (although), yet I don't see it dipping below 250mhz in Conky.

I also cannot "echo 125000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq" without it defaulting back to 250mhz.

I could be misguided, but I imagine this would help to balance the battery life.
