Have you tried tweaking the CPU governor? Tweaking this works for the applications I have on my N900. I have used this for years on Debian based HTPCs to reduce power and heat also with pretty good results. There is a better description for the N900 on the wiki then I could give.

FWIW I am running 250 - 900MHz.
Take care.
