Sleep/Standby. I really wish I knew how this worked. Because I have set my min and max speeds to 1000mhz and the phone still wakes up sluggish and shows a load average above 80. I could understand if I set the min and max to 125mhz but at 1000mhz the Droid should never fall behind.

Is 125Mhz bad? That is such a loaded question. A stock droid will actually clock down that low to help with battery life. The problem is with custom roms. If you only have a few programs running in background while the phone is in standby/sleep life is good. But if you are like me and you have 7 or 8 programs loaded at all time and it allows the CPU to fall behind on the work load. What is the side effect of this? Text messages and phone calls might be missed. The CPU is so busy trying to wake up and recover from the backed up work load that it actually misses the signal from the hardware that woke it up in the first place. I have put many hours in to testing this issue. At one point I got it down to only missing 1% of the incoming calls and texts with wonderful battery life. But I had to turn off a lot of apps to do it. The Droid simply wasn't as useful. So I now use 250Mhz as the low end to avoid missing calls and texts. But even at that speed I still notice the CPU getting bogged down during sleep mode. How do I notice it? When it wakes up to play a custom ringtone. If the work load is caught up, they play correctly. If the work load is way behind, it plays the default ringtone and sometimes I have to wait a second before I can slide the answer call button. One day I will find the magic bullet on this.
