The previous issues were not battery dependent. i can use either of my batteries and get 12+ hours of usage (vs 3-4 hours battery previously). so something in the phone's hardware "cured" itself. I can also now over clock up to 1000MHz and it stays stable. Previously, if I went over 850MHz it would reboot immediately.

I really wish I knew what happened for this improvement.
not an hardware expert by any means but i remember reading somewhere that Smartreflex shouldn't be used with freqencies above 850MHz
is it (was it?) turned on for you?

Smartreflex is, and was, always turned on. Maybe I'll poke at that after I reflash my n900 for other reasons...

So, just did complete a reflash. Went to DMO & grabbed FAM. Installed power kernel & tools, qcpufreq, & conky.

Cranked the cpu up to 1150, left Smartreflex off. Started installing stuff and checked conky to see it actually hitting full speed. Seems stable so far.

Sweet!

The newest kernel-power kernels support SR up to 900MHz, which already consumes quite a lot of power in itself.

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.

Yeah, Just wanted to see if it would go there. I scaled it back to 900Mhz. Good to know I can use smartreflex at that speed. I usually get ~24hr now with my usage.
