Great post and great info, nitsuj (post #20).
However, my thoughts about processor speeds, after overclocking the dinky Eris with SetCPU, are not the same as the thoughts I had about it prior to root being available (way back then
).
If users want lag cured, they need to look at how their device is configured to sync and update in the background, and how they use GPS and their device all around, etc.
For example, I found that the Eris real world processor speed from 528 to 768 was not much to notice at all, and that the Eris ran great once configured properly and maintained regularly, all with the CPU left stock.
This Fascinate, with its faster CPU, will never be over clocked by me.
I don't think lag and slowdowns in any device with a 528 or higher chip is about that chip speed rating much at all.
