You mean in what circumstances rebooted ? It was a completely random reboot , I just unlocked the phone and slided the menu down when suddenly the phone freezed and after 10 seconds rebooted .

Nothing else was running?

Nope . This situation reminded me of N900 when I was tweaking voltages , sometimes it was rebooting with no reason , not even under load . And I remember I got this fixed by increasing voltage very little .

I confirm that the overclocking is very real and worth using (in some cases). Here I run a C calculation (for mu0 of type Ia supernovae in cosmology) with 100 thousand numerical integrals using double precision :

Nokia-N9% mu0_dp.o
1000 MHz : 28.438446 s
1100 MHz : 25.801086 s (1,1022 x)
1200 MHz : 23.743835 s (1,1977 x)
1300 MHz : 21.913544 s (1,2978 x)
1400 MHz : - (reboot)
As we can see above, the speed up is approx. the expected value.

So, with N9 @ 1,2 GHz (for example) we really get it 20% faster for running CPU intensive tasks.

Comparing with my N900 with and without OC (OverClocking) :
600 MHz : 54.061523 s
850 MHz : 39.386322 s
900 MHz : 35.555176 s
950 MHz : 33.086578 s
1000 MHz : 31.480408 s
1100 MHz : 28.668640 s
1150 MHz : - (reboot)

And my Nokia N810 : 400 MHz : 450.490479 s. Maybe gcc is not well optimized @ Maemo 4.

A Intel Core i7 930, 4 cores @ 1,60-2,80 GHz, 8MB cache, running Linux 64 bits : 1.847429 s (single core calculation).

Conclusions :
- N9 @ 1.0 GHz is 90% faster than N900 @ 600 MHz, greater than 66.67% expected by clock only;
- N9 @ 1.0 GHz is 11% faster than N900 @ 1.0 GHz OC;
- N9 @ 1.0 GHz has the same speed of N900 @ 1.1 GHz OC;
- N9's TI OMAP 3630 is better than N900's TI OMAP 3430 besides the clock setting;
- N9 @ 1.3 GHz OC is 31% faster than N900 @ 1.1 GHz OC, both at maximum OC for my N9 & N900;
- N9 @ 1.0 GHz is 14.8x faster than N810;
- N900 @ 600 MHz is 7.3x faster than N810;
- Core i7 930 is 14.4x faster than N9 @ 1.0 GHz, 28.3x faster than N900 @ 600 MHz, 243x faster than N810.

PS : I've compiled mu0_dp.c with "gcc -O3 -funroll-loops -mtune=native -lm -o mu0_dp.o mu0_dp.c" directly on my devices.

From icons: overclock not reflected in conky But if I overclock from bash, then I can overclock (1.1>1.2) from the icons.

From Bash, launching the scripts(/opt/overclock/*) : overclock OK

Edit:
Creamy goodness confirmed (see below) that downclock is impossible with the last version.
I have modified the scripts a bit. You may try again with the same link and let us know if it works? Thanks.

I didn't say OC is useless at all , I was talking about UI only . Can you give us this benchmark please ? Is pretty usefull .

Yeah, I know. N9 has a lot more RAM (1GB x 256 MB) than N900, the Qt Quick UI is smoother, so our overclocking perception is not as visible as on N900.

I've updated my previous post with links for the C source code (with comments in Portuguese because I am Brazilian and the code was not originally meant to be public).

I confirm that I can get 1.1GHz on open mode too.
I'm using coderus' sudo so everything feels like "old times" again... None of this silly devel-su stuff..
