I can see why Android phones might need mucho CPU power to sustain the horribly bloated UIs being forced on them by the telcos. But beyond the "oh cool, I've OC'd my phone!" factor, I'm not sure why you'd need to push the N900 up into the red...
Battery life is one reason( google for race-to-idle), HD recording/playback is one of the others.
