Oh and Trisha, for the love of god stop polluting every thread with your incoherent garbage, please try and use some common sense and apply this to find answers yourself or even better become an Isheep, you know you want to! right?
Hmmm...your issue then lies with the starving profile.
leafpad /usr/local/bin/underclock
Change the line:
kernel-config load starving
with any other profile that you prefer.

Doesn't happen with me to be honest...but your reasoning seems at its place. Well then, change the line:
kernel-config load starving
found in /usr/local/bin/underclock to say, kernel-config load ulv

As I said before, I'm not epitaphish, it's totally okay, perhaps with our efforts we can further enhace the script.

Well then, the best way to figure our ways out is to create a script which monitors the CPU frequency while idle, and then observe the results. I assume most of the time, the CPU will sit on 0, maybe jump to 250 for some time, since the CPU usage with this patch applied is fairly low, 2 to 4 % as a max.

I will test this however. I am planning to fully charge my phone, unpatch it, then let it sit idle, and count the days that will pass by, then repeat the test with the patch applied, and see the results.

Just to point out, I made the patch very simply to load a KP profile when idle and another one while the device is active as a reply to GigaByte's request, but then I started collecting battery saving scripts scattered here and there into the script, so criticism and testing are certainly the top procedures to take for enhancing the script.

Maybe you don't need to wait for days.

Unpatch and reboot the phone. Wait in idle for a period of time, i.e. 5 hours, and measure the battery drain, then repeat the process after patching and rebooting.

i don't recommend activating conservative!!!!!!
it will f*ck your N900
it will make the performance horrible

but saves a loooot of power instead

to activate :

open the profile you are using with any text editor and change the line

GOVERNOR=ondemand
to
GOVERNOR=conservative

and reload the profile with
kernel-config load $yourprofile
