So basically, he has 800 and 1000 MHz versions available. This does break compatability with TempMonitor for CPU temps and you need to do anther wifi fix, but it's well worth it because:

-This fixes virtual keyboard responsiveness. It is now very, very fast. Near iPhone quality.

-Other random fixes with the light sensor, etc.

Here's some videos comparing before/after:

This kernel is the best I've tried, period, for auto-brightness as well...so far, since last night I've seen none of the intermittent flare-ups and moments of laser-brightness that I've seen with every other ROM/kernel I've tried.

Definitely a keeper, and I've asked Pete if he can integrate the updates into his ROMs...if he doesn't I'll keep flashing back to this kernel.
