It definitely makes a difference. I'm pretty sure its not just placebo. I tested it on CFX3 and there seems to be a tangible speed improvement. The reason for it and the patch makes genuine sense as well.

I think I'm going to have to. The speed difference I can feel is enough to convince me to include it.

Awesome, so it isn't just me after all.

Theres a few methods to acheive what should be the same result (entropy over 1300). For example heres an init.d script:

#!/system/bin/sh

# Entropy tweak

PSIZE=$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize)

PSIZE=$((PSIZE/3))

echo $PSIZE > /proc/sys/kernel/random/read_wakeup_threshold;
It should save battery compared to the application as it doesn't wake the phone at all and has no service running. -EDIT- You can also symlink:
#!/system/bin/sh

# Entropy tweak

rm /dev/random;

ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random;
Or just recreate it as urandom:
#!/system/bin/sh

# Entropy tweak

rm /dev/random;

mknod /dev/random c 1 9;

Good find.

The app 'works' because it uses a daemon process that "keeps the device's I/O in constant use (which in turn, depending on device, will make the CPU stick to higher clock frequencies to keep up and/or ramp up the IO scheduler)." - quote from a CyanogenMod developer

Remove the app and use the fix manually as above. Then see if you have an improvement or not.

Makes sense I suppose, but saying it's like using the performance governor is just as wrong. It doesn't lock it on the maximum frequency like the governor does.

Yeah..I've realised. :)
