Personally, since I love games and emulators, overclocking is a must. I never go over 900mhz though.

I'm using PR1.3, Power Kernel v.46, and have been running 250-950 since a week or two after I bought it.
I can get it running stably at 1150, but as it gets warm to the touch at 1000 or above, I've opted for 950 as my default.
Note that I'm running it slightly above starving with custom-tweaked voltages, and have no issues whatsoever.
(Aside from a screen crack, but that's not OC-related...)
I've also changed the polling interval to 100ms(from 300), and changed the up-threshold to 50% from 90%.
This, plus changing the transitions a bit, has greatly increased the fluidity of my setup, and I get reasonable battery life(several days doing nothing, 8+ hours of reading with mid brightness, 4-6 of internet, as a rough estimate).

Hey, wait a minute! :S
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
Nokia's PR1.3 kernel finally included a couple of upstream bug fixes for SmartReflex, a feature which makes an appreciable difference to battery life. For maximum longevity with power-kernel you can enable the two SMARTREFLEX_VDD? settings, but be aware that this will adversely affect the maximum clock speed you can stably sustain. I had to drop from 950MHz to 750MHz, but I get 36-48 hours with WiFi connected and 15 minute mail checks.

I tried ULV 250 - 900 Mhz -profile and got DSP-problems. Wasn't so simple to get the system back to normal.

well 125 (at the moment) is looking like a decent poll size. decent enough for the tv ads that claim 9 out of ten cats noticed a visible difference in skin rejuvenation anyway! 
and its interesting to note that still less than a quarter of users here dont overclock at all. with the majority overclocking at a perceived "safe" level under 900mhz. i'll let you draw your own conclusions as to what this means in real terms., but the more votes keep coming in the more accurate picture we can build.

After a 5 days, the power kernel v46 was out, but the results was similar. I updated the second N900 to see if the battery last equal from the first N900 or maybe it was just luck, better CPU chip or something. But my surprise is that I put the two N900 to compete. The battery on standby was amaizing, like 1% battery drain per hour.
From that moment I decided not to install power kernel. BUT, I would like to be able to enable 125mhz frecuency and 700mhz and 750mhz frecuency because some times we need a little more power to do some things, but since I don't have power kernel I'm stock because everytime I try to edit the files for that matter, they do not change.
Can you help me?

My current "optimum" (?) power-settings are lv-profile, 250-900 Mhz, vdd2 SmartReflex enabled:
If I would enable vdd1, the system will crash.
If I have tried ulv- or xlv-profiles, DSP doesn't get enough power and many things won't work, but it won't immediately crash either.
If I do not overclock, (this I am not sure) both SmartReflex settings vdd1&2 can be enabled.
Code:
# kernel-config show current kernel configuration: current frequency: 900 supported frequencies: 125 250 500 550 600 700 750 805 850 900 950 1000 1100 1150 min. frequency: 125 max. frequency: 900 avoid frequencies: 125 active frequencies: 0:30,90 250:38,180 500:48,360 550:48,400 600:54,430 700:54,430 750:54,430 805:54,430 850:54,500 900:54,500 950:54,500 1000:60,500 1100:72,520 1150:72,520 SmartReflex VDD1=0, VDD2=1 governor ondemand: ignore nice load= 0, up threshold= 75, sampling rate= 150000, powersave bias= 0

No overclocking here (no need for that, since I'm not running emulators or any of that really CPU intensive stuff),
