Freedom kernels allow you to get more aggressive w/ how much your kernel is undervolted. So if you're on Freedoms' "Stock" kernel, flash his "Less" kernel. If you're on his "More" kernel, flash his "Aggressive" kernel. Each one is undervolted more than the next.
If your Evo doesn't "wake-up" right away or it gets laggy or unstable, there's a good chance you've chosen a kernel that's undervolted too much for your Evo.
