please have a look at http://wiki.maemo.org/Overclocking#U...voltage_tables
voltage has a quadratic effect.
we only know the TI specs for their recommended voltage levels.
no one knows the real long-term effects of overclocking with undervolting.
we simply have no evidence and only extensive tests by TI would quality as sufficient evidence.

would you mind if I add your starving config to the templates in kernel-power-settings?

I had worse battery life with 125 than with 250 and 125 is supposed to be unstable,
so I'd not recommend to enable it.
It might be useful, however, if you setup some kind of deep-sleep state with all
connectivity disabled and all processed reniced or suspended.

Also, titan, can you comment on the idle frequencies? Is it wise to idle @ 125 MHz? Or should I go for 500 MHz? Or 550 MHz with starving conf, perhaps, as the GVHz rating is lower than default @ 500 MHz? 250 Mhz, as seems to me, has too little voltage difference and 500 MHz wins the day by quickly doing idle tasks and resume to sleep state? Also, wasn't there a some sort of bug @ 125 MHz?
