Root SetCPU opinions?

[douknownam]

Is it worth it? I'm currently running netarchy's 4.0.3 kernel and fresh's 3.1.0.1 rom with the overclock widget. Set the screen on min/max to 768/1113 and screen off min/max to 245. I seem to have pretty decent battery life--about 15 hours off charger with approx. 30% battery left. I know that SetCPU seems to be more robust with config, so I was wondering if it's worth it? Will I see significantly better battery life with more tweaks? TIA

I have netarchy 4.0.2 and the previous settings I had with setcpu totally screwed with my performance of the phone.

I would love to know what other members profiles are for setcpu so I can try again.

I only use setCPU to throttle down the CPU. Simply creating a profile to keep the CPU at 245mhz when the screen is off saves me a ton of battery. I get 1% battery drain overnight (8-hour sleep). Basically when I'm not using the phone, the battery isn't getting drained. Isn't that how things SHOULD work?

In theory, the overclock widget should be doing the same thing right? Why should I buy setCPU when there's a free app for that purpose? I use the overclock widget mainly for this reason and nothing else. Should I still look at getting setCPU?
