So here it goes:

500
49
556

600
41
560

850
31
609

1000
25
736

My conclusion at the moment though is that a higher clock (even with lowered voltage) isn't necessarily more battery friendly than a lower clock just because it allows the CPU to complete its tasks faster and have more sleep time. This is probably because at higher clocks it consumes so much more power that it's not worth it... anyway I'll also have to check how the CPU behaves at 125MHz and 250MHz... At the moment 600MHz seems to be most effective clock though.
Your data does not support your conclusion:

The CPU took 41*560=22960 units of energy to calculate pi at 600MHz, but only took 25*736=18400 units to do the exact same job at 1000MHz, so was, in fact 20% more power efficient at 1000MHz.
