The safe speed depends on the phone. I know I talk about the EVO I had but that's where I tested a lot of this stuff from, lol. I couldn't clock over 1036 (I think that's the number) without it screwing up on me but some people could go higher. It just depends on your phone.
Since these are dual core phones they should be able to go higher than 15xx. This is a test you can do. Increase the speed higher than it's normal range and DO NOT check "Set On Boot" because if it doesn't work you will be stuck in a boot loop. Without setting it to set on boot, if it does restart on you it will restart with default speeds. That's a way to test it.
You'll see speed in the phones performance, not data/internet speeds at all. Games will run smoother, transitions will be 'buttery', and things of that nature. It only affects the performance of the phone.

It takes immediately. If it's stuck in a boot loop you would have to either do ADB stuff or start over. It's best to not set on boot if you think it's too high.
