Should we overclock by default?
The default setting for glint-nes is 800MHz.
The latest firmware includes the option to overclock up to 1GHz, though there is reportedly a risk of SD card corruption.
There is, apparently, no such warning for going to 900MHz, and overclocking it to this point does seem to resolve the minor glitch issues in most games by giving the Pi just a little extra head room.
As far as I know the built-in overclock settings that come with the latest firmware do not void warranties, but I don't know if there is a risk that overclocked Pis will have shorter shelf lives as a result of the extra heat.
It uses a governor by default unless you specify not to use it.

Which means that it will drop down to lower performance if the heat gets too high?

It means it won't over clock unless it needs to

Hm, very cool.
So basically we can overclock to 900MHz out of the box without a problem?
So long as I'm setting overclocking through the raspi-config then I don't
need to worry about damaging the Pi?
Does it sound like I have that correct?

Raspi-config only writes to /boot/config.txt with recommended setting. If you write to the text file manually the options are endless.

Right, I understand that part. I guess what I'm getting at is, is it safe? It used to be that overclocking past a certain point was considered unstable and potentially dangerous to the Pi. What I'm asking is, where is the "unsafe" line at this point (or isn't there one anymore)?

Preselected values below 1000mhz that raspi-config uses would be safe

Adrian mentioned that speed issues are largely caused by sound driver issues, and that the new binaries he's building may also resolve the issue.
