is it (was it?) turned on for you?
The newest kernel-power kernels support SR up to 900MHz, which already consumes quite a lot of power in itself.

Sweet!
This'll burn through your battery pretty quickly if you're running high-load apps/browsing all the time.

Not to mention the fact that the SoC has a severely reduced guaranteed operational lifespan at this speed.
