@balex96 yeah, running the CPU at a higher speed requires more voltage and burns through battery quicker. Some kernels (like Trinity) can do a slight overclock (1.1GHz) and still undervolt the CPU, which provides additional performance and battery life at the same time. Check out the Nexus S section at XDA forums to see all the kernels available.
@dilks44 you can get the 1.44GHz Trinity kernel at XDA-developers forums. It overclocks the SGX540 GPU on the phone, which is why the 3D part was so fast. And CM7 has some ext4 tweaks, so that's why the I/O was so fast too. Some phones may not be stable at 1.44GHz though...
my phone can't handle speeds over 1.2 GHz *crying face* tried so many different kernels... so stayed with stock and am happy with 1.3 GHz until it reboots... which should be any minute now.
@himegood5 in case what? This is not a fluke score. With this kernel, the phone consistently hits over 4000. I just recorded one run.
Do you always record your quadrants before you run them, just in case?

when you overclock do you lose battery life?
can any nexus s be used on TMOBILE like they all have simcard slots?
sry but i have an HTC Rhyme and i updated it to ics and i want to go back to version 2.3 and how to install the kernel that is on htcdev.com
I know man, I'm just playin. I wish big red had a nexus S
Damn mine hits 3557 with NSCloab 1.0.31 rom and Netarchy 1.3.4 kernel @1.4Ghz but it becomes unstable so i leave it at 1.2Ghz and still gets 3000+

@FabolousTT thanks for the tip.
