Works well on my kjam, but you need to re-run it each time after coming out of standby mode. 240 MHz seems to be the stable setting for now... no heat issues that I can tell.... this can only evolve from here as more users test it out... enjoy.

I have a shortcut link on my SPB launcher bar on the today screen that runs it at "-clock 240", so I just tap this each time after coming out of standby. PITA for now but they'll fix this soon so we won't need to do this.
Biggest question I have is does this constantly run the cpu at this speed or it is just able to ramp up to 240 MHz when needed under load?

From what I have read, it sets the OMAP to run at the speed you set it at consistantly. There is a command line option (-launch) that will allow the OMAP to run at the set speed only when running a particular application.
Now that the OMAP processor is overclockable, I wonder if this changes things... :?

Without being biased or pro-Wizard/OMAP/Prophet, can you tell me if the unit actually feels a lot faster, and what kind of battery life you're getting with the maximum overclock possible?
I've only had it at a maximum of 240 and you can really feel the difference in speed. I dont get that annoying script error when loading howardforums and mapopolis finds addresses a lot faster. I'm really happy with this new app!

I've been using this overclocking utility a few times today now, and although I don't use GPS much or multitask really, some of my videos that were almost unplayable (almost like a frame by frame slideshow) in TCPMP were playing flawlessly with the speed increase to 264 MHz. I was very surprised. And just the menu responses of the machine seemed like the JAM. Also keep in mind that I did install the 1.6.7.1 QTEK rom update on my k-jam as well. Not being able to play videos properly on the K-jam was my main concern with this machine and this utility did wonders for it. I just hope that this doesn't hurt the processor. Each time I've overclocked, I've noticed no hang-ups or any abnormal activity so I assume that 264MHz must have been OK. Very impressive in my opinion.

I've tried it too but haven't tested in prolonged use. Gonna use with skype tomorrow and see how handles.
I ran a quick comparison in tcpmp with a 30secs avi, one at normal 180mhz showing the omapclock and 168mhz tcpmp, and another at 264 and 248 respectively.
Normal:
Average Speed 134.04%
Bench. Time 0:22.372
Bench. Frame Rate 32.14
Bench. Sample Rate 44220
Bench. Data Rate 804 kbit/s
Overclocked:
Average Speed 206.15%
Bench. Time 0:14.546
Bench. Frame Rate 49.43
Bench. Sample Rate 69081
Bench. Data Rate 1.2 Mbit/s
Original Time 0:29.988
Original Frame Rate 23.98
Original Sample Rate 32000
Original Data Rate 600 kbit/s
Guess it increases preformance, but at what cost, no idea
On a side note, same video test file on my m500 was with same parameters as the overclocked above (since the absolutes of my test could depend on my video file, eg the m500 showed that as max as well, the absolute values could be misleading), ie this particular video file the omap handled as the m500 did.
