If I close all apps, let the device rest, and have a look at Conky, the device idles at 250MHz with about 3-5% load on the CPU and all 8-10 secs it upscales to 1000MHz for 2-4 secs with CPU load still around 4% and then back to 250MHz.
I dont have any special background daemons, watchdogs or services running. All apps closed. Where does that jumpy behavior come from?! Conkys graph also is completely level, no peaks or exceptional stress, just upscale to 1GHz and back again.... Any ideas?
looks normal too me,

i always stay @500-1.15GHz (ideal) settings as my personal settings and let it load upon every boot, but no extra-ordinary battery drain.

the upscaling from 250 MHz to 1GHz for 8-10 or quicker is normal, that is because of the "ondemand" setting of the CPU (not really sure but that is what i read).

Ondemand gives the cpu to switch from the lowest available freq to the highest without scaling on other mid freqs. i believe.

check your cpu usage again, you might have instances that your cpu runs constant @ 100%
