titans kernel with "ideal" settings has 500 idle and seems to me a much nicer option all round, less stuttering and believe it or not, better battery life too. queen beecon can be used for simple commands as "widgets" the things on the right are clock settings that i can alter just by pressing them. the black ones at the top and bottom show me what is running at the time, high and low mhz and they update by clicking or when the desktop is refreshed.
