ndno has successfully modified the kernel source code to overclock the Marquee to 1.2GHz and was kind enough to make us Ignite users an overclocked kernel as well. The governor is defaulted to "ondemand" in an attempt to get the phone to use the full range of frequencies for battery saving purpose, instead of running at 1.2GHz all the times; you can change that governor behavior with SetCpu.
Prerequisites are the usual:
Rooted
CWM installed
ZV2-based ROM
Instructions
Credits: ndno says this is more of a "hacking" effort. He's pretty sure PlayfulGod and Bloodawn (and asadullah) are hard at work with their own kernel for the Marquee. Thanks to Monster, PlayfulGod, Bloodawn, and asadullah for getting the ball rolling to give us a better user experience on this phone and the Marquee.
Performance notes: I usually get ~2100 on AnTuTu benchmark; when OCed to 1200MHz, I get 2464., a nice 300+ points increase. If using the USB to PC cable connection trick, I get 2955!!!
Changelog:
[5/6/12 - v1.4]
zv2KernelOC_1.2GHz_UV_100mV_v1.4.zip - 1.2GHz OC kernel w/ Bloodawn's Hyper 0.2 ramdisk; 3 lower frequencies undervolted by 100mV to get even better battery life.

Prerequisites are the usual:
Rooted
CWM installed
ZV2-based ROM
Instructions
- Download and copy zip file to sdcard
- Boot into CWM
- Make a nandroid backup (highly recommended in case you have to recover)
- Install from zip file on sdcard
- Choose zip from sdcard
- Flash
- ??? Wipe cache, fix permissions ??? Not sure, I didn't have to.
- Reboot
- Download SetCpu from market and configure whichever way you like it; ndno set the governor to "ondemand" by default so he thinks it will throttle the speeds from low (300MHz) to high (1200MHz) depending on the load
