I followed your instructions and overclocked the device to 950 MHz (Turbo caused a black screen but did not seem to damage the file system). This changed the boot up time to 4.5 minutes from just over 6 minutes. Sadly it is still at 100& CPU all the time. If I run another graphical java app such as gnubridge it uses 100% CPU for about five seconds as it draws to the screen but then the CPU percentage falls to almost nothing.
