Yeah, put it on lv. I had problems with ideal too.
Do this:
Sudo kernel-config load lv
sudo kernel-config limits 250-805
sudo kernel-config save lv8
sudo kernel-config default lv8
is that better than ideal n does that save more battery?

UPDATE
- I have updated my Queen Beecon Widget section of my overclocking guide with full step by step on how to set it up for the first timers using QBW. Hopefully, it'll make it easier for beginners to follow and set the widget buttons up.

No. In terms of voltage:

stock > lv > ulv > ideal > starving

Strangely, I found out that my battery will last longer on LV. Anyway, I get a very good battery life with it!

I actually have exactly the same problem using lv and found the only way to rectify it is to restart the phone!

since using QueenBeecon though and a power saving profile - only overclocking to 1ghz when required i havent seen so many problems. i have no idea what it is though, but it is exactly as you say. just after a while it becomes slow and unresponsive although conky shows it is still overclocked etc.

Seems to happen randomly as well. for example its not just after a phone call or receiving a message.

Phone getting unresponsive might be an issue of RAM<->SWAP and not really related to core clock rate. Having too many python widgets (or for me any) on your home screens (hildon-home, the stuff you see on your desktops) will leak RAM after a while and start swapping for everything. Your phone should run smooth at 600MHz if freshly restarted (at least 4mins after restart as sometimes thumbnailer and stuff kick in). If your phone runs smooth at any point and is getting unresponsive or slow over time I would bet on swapping.

ah right. thats really interesting. is there any way to rectify this or is it just a case of not having any python widgits?

Hmm, bit strange: frequency limits are changing by themself. My phone has its own will?

Has anyone any idea what could cause this? I set them back and after an hour they have changed randomly.

i have exactly the same issue as you. i have overclocked my fone a week ago. i changed clock limits by loading lv profile with limits as 250 850. that day it really worked smooth and nice. however from next day onwards it began to lag and started random freezing again so i checked the kernel-config settings and i noticed that it had changed the limits from 250-850 to 125-850.

I have reset the limits back to 250-850 three times so far but later when i check the lower limits change back from 250 to 125 all by itself. i have no idea how to stop it from changing and hope these techies can help us.

125 is probably being set after a phone call.Are you sure you have 125 marked as to avoid.If not run this
echo 125000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/avoid_frequencies
