I'd say it was a valid question. I'm overclocked at 1Ghz as a standard boot-up profile for Maemo and the same goes for the NITdroid install I have as a secondary OS. If I'm streaming Flash from the web I might go to 1.15Ghz as there is a performance improvement to be had. I notice a large improvement over standard when overclocked from both loading apps and in-process tasks.

well for the small survey size so far, it looks like most tmo users are overclocking regularly, with only about a quarter not oc'ing at all, i was quite suprised to see this, but obviously this is hardly a complete picture of whats going on. people completely uninterested in oc'in may not even click on the thread. and we need a much larger sample size for any proper analysis. still... interesting...

I used to overclock at 900MHz and 1000MHz when I had PR1.2 and it was great.
when I upgraded to PR1.3 I noticed that my battery would drain much faster if I installed the power kernel. I then restored the stock kernel. I didn't see many benefits of overclocking.. phone startup time was marginally faster... flash videos are still choppy at the beginning.

It is very possible that the majority of N900 owners are not overclocked but the subset of owners who are members of this community appear to be overclocked.

That happened to me too!!
I flashed back to fresh state, I didn't wanned to install the power kernel, and my battery last forever. I was wondering yesterday if the power kernel have some issues with PR1.3 and the battery because even on Starving my battery couldnt last more than 16hrs but with stock kernel I'm currently on almost 26hrs

I tried, but didn't get everything runnig again. At first call and sms notifications ceased to work, later I had issues with BlessN900. As taking pictures is one of my main uses, I upstood from over-clocking. However, I did enjoy my 850mHz-times.

The reason for this poll is that people have recently made outrageous misstatements about overclocking. Someone recently was quite sure that most people here overclock, and the speed they overclock at is 1.1 Ghz.
That is of course absurd, and the reasonable way to prove it's not true is to poll people.
BTW: I do regularly oc to 900 mHz max, but I have never even tried faster, not even once.
