Will we see this pushed via SSU once it gets a proper shakedown?

It doesn't matter what frequency you set, it is always 333 MHZ
I am going to diagree with you. Default Diablo frequency is 400, it was clocked to it in OS 2008. And in OS 2007 we had a 333 mhz, that's right.
And OS always change frequency to 165 if it not in use or if tablet don't need all processor power.
By the way, I just checked: tablet goes to 165 mhz without any problems automatically.

And I have this error during the instalation ramzes:

bla bla bla (seems to be alright)

Quick update: New ramzswap-0.5.5-2 package available fixes the boot order issue. Download and install. No need to reboot.
Ok thanks. I will try it now.

It depends on if the DSP is in use. In OS2007, yes, it was always at 333 MHz regardless of the state of the DSP.

In OS2008, it depends. With the default OP Mode set by OS2008, when the DSP is not in use (i.e. you don't have Media Player running), then the frequency is 400 MHz; however, if the DSP is in use, the CPU will go down to 400 MHz while the DSP goes up to 133 MHz. The OP Mode is really a fancy way of prioritising one over the other: you can modify the kernel to set a different OP Mode in which the DSP will run at half its speed (~66 MHz) while the CPU can still run at 400 MHz. The OP Mode patch allows you to change it on the fly, without having to recompile a new kernel each time. Igor explains one is prioritised over the other in this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/maemo-de.../msg13383.html

I think he said, in the other thread, that when the DSP is active the cpu can't exceed 333MHz but this patch allows the cpu to reach 400MHz but the DSP has to be clocked slower than it would if the cpu was at 333MHz. So I'm guessing it has no effect on battery.
When the DSP is active the CPU is set at 333 MHZ and the DSP at 220 MHZ, no more, no less, no matter if the unit is idle or not, it is a hardware design issue, so this happens no matter the kernel. This patch allows to set the CPU at 400 MHZ at the cost of setting the DSP at 133 MHZ.
When the DSP is not in use, the governor can change the CPU frecuency.
Regarding effect on battery, the CPU takes more power than the DSP, so the 400/133 setting shortens battery life (about 25% less) wrt the 333/220 setting.
Except when playing videos, where you get about the same battery life, but smoother playback.

Oh sh*t. That happens for having installed the modules package and making asumptions about the default directory layout.
Thanks for spotting it. I'll fix it in a moment.

I received an error while installing, but my N810 already feels faster, really faster. Thanks.

Code:
dpkg: regarding sysvinit_2.85-22.osso15-dt1_armel.deb containing sysvinit, pre-dependency problem:
 sysvinit pre-depends on sysv-rc (>= 2.85-2) | file-rc (>> 0.7.0) | boot-mechanism
 mini-rc provides boot-mechanism but is unpacked but not configured.
dpkg: error processing sysvinit_2.85-22.osso15-dt1_armel.deb (--install):
 pre-dependency problem - not installing sysvinit
