Default Min CPU frequency

Hi,
I was wondering about the minimal frequency to set. For example in LG P500 the voltage in every frequency below 480mhz is the same so is no point to set it under 480, is it the same in GIO? My target is to save some battery.
I'm currently using 864/245 conservative.
What min frequency you recommend? 122, 245, 320, 480?

im using 245, but it matters if you want to save battery life or you want more smooth overall feeling then u can set it more if you dont worry about battery life.

on any ROM except CM, using 122MHz as minimal frequency produce cracking noise on music player when frequency grow from 122MHz to an higher value.
I think this is the reason why on any stock ROM, minimum freq. is 244MHz.

PS: battery consumption is lower on 122 than on 244

thats what I wanted to know.

You sure about this?

In P500 it was quite opposite, because 122 and 480 has the same voltage, but every action is made faster on 480 so it consumes less energy(the same voltage but less time using it). Using 480 instead of 122 was good for both - battery and performance.

Isnt that like in Gio?

Minimum frequency is used only in sleepmode, so it will not affect performance. With no real-time apps running in background and with no interaction from user, CPU is mostly in sleep mode.
With GioProv1.3 (if I remember well), I've got 10 days of use on a single charge, but only as phone and with almost minimum display brightness; so stand-by battery consumption is really small.
