Overclocking, Governers, and Juice Defender

[conductor_bosh]

I've got an OC kernel installed on my Nook Color, so I went into Cyanogenmod 7 settings and changed my max speed to 1.1GHz. I haven't noticed a speed improvement, though. Someone told me to change my governor to interactive, but there are only two options for me under governor: conservative and performance. What can I do about this?

I've also recently downloaded the free version of Juice Defender. Does this save battery life in any non wifi related way, or does it only exist to toggle wifi on and off, in which case, I don't need it (I can do that myself...). Also, will having Juice Defender enabled interfere with Overclocking?

Hi there!
Not sure I can give you an accurate answer to your first question.
About the second one, in short, what JuiceDefender does is it optimizes battery consumptions by automatically managing the most power-draining components of the phone (connectivity in particular), so that they are used *only* when needed, rather than left running all the time for no particular purpose.
On top of that, if you prefer to tweak and play with advanced settings (something tells me that this is your case), JuiceDefender gives access and full control over loads of energy saving options otherwise unavailable, through highly customizable profiles (advanced schedule controls, background sync, app controls and interactive training, CPU frequency control, the list goes on and on).
It's basically a very good tool to improve energy-efficiency on your phone, JD's fb page is packed with positive comments.
Here is where you can find support if you need it http://Support.JuiceDefender.com/.
Hope this helps
