Here are updated measurement results. I didn't switch off display during last measurements, so those are not valid values.

Kernel parameters are following
Code:
UP_THRESHOLD=75
SAMPLING_RATE=150000
VDD1_OPPS_VSEL="30 20 25 30 33 38 45 45 48 48 54 54 60 67 72"
DSP_OPPS_RATE="90 90 180 360 400 430 430 430 430 500 500 500 500 520 520"
MIN_FREQ=500000
MAX_FREQ=850000
SMARTREFLEX_VDD1=0
SMARTREFLEX_VDD2=0
Results in Offline-mode with 12s delay, screen locked.
Code:
@ 125 MHz       |    @ 250MHz
Run #1  Run #2  |    Run #1  Run #2
306     308     |    456     462
4033    4036    |    4012    4012
124800  124800  |    249600  249600
2       2       |    3       3
2       2       |    3       3
----------------------------------
@ 500MHz        |    @ 850 MHz
Run #1  Run #2  |    Run #1  Run #2
700     684     |    1279    1276
4020    4017    |    3996    3993
500000  500000  |    849920  849920
4       4       |    10      10
3       3       |    3       3
EDIT:
500MHz seems to be most efficient frequency from power consumption point (least uW/Hz), 850MHz is quite close too. In-line what egoshin said earlier.

Based on this information, I'll do more idle trials during nightimes to find out if 500MHz (fixed, single freq) is also best when low load.
EDIT2:
Based on graph below (snapshots from Battery-eye), there seems to a small advantage to use both 125MHz and 500MHz instead of only 500MHz. Difference is not too big.
Some screen captures in Battery consumption analysis thread, post #211.
