Also, titan's ideal profile uses much less power at 500Mhz than Nokia's stock setting at 500Mhz. (about 35% less)
yup! that is correct!

titan's kernel has lower power on higher voltages'

for example, 600mhz of nokia's kernel will already give your device the "overvolting" mode, but in titan's, you must reach up to 900mhz before overvolting. (Just for Example)

EDIT: according to what i read from the ARM website, "an ARM cortex A8 has the ability to scale from 600mhz to higher (possibly) than 1GHz"

Nokia locks the highest freq of n900 to 600mhz. maybe overclocking will not harm the CPU but, it may harm any other hardware/software IMHO!!!
