If you decide to try an overclock kernel, you download the .zip and put it in the top (root) directory of the sd card; then boot into Clockwork Recovery and select the install zip option. Then, while still in the Recovery, go to advanced/clear dalvik cache; then reboot.

After the NC boots up, go into Settings/CyanogenMod Settings/Performance and you can adjust the top clock speed. Most NC's will easily run up to 1200mhz (instead of the default of 800). The clock speed is variable - the NC adjusts on the fly according to the demand, but allowing it to run up to 1200 mhz makes CM7 soooo smooth ... like butter!

One last note: if you are not having a good experience on cm7, then something isn't working right - probably your SD card. With any of the stable versions, or even the "nightlies" - cm7 runs VERY well on the NC. Yes, there might be a few issues on the nightlies - like wifi being tempermental (I don't experience this, though), or some small issues like the o/c clock not adjust quite properly in certain circumstances and with certain beta kernels (these are 2 of the recent issues reported on the nightlies), but overall, cm7 should be a GREAT experience on your NC. If you don't find that to be the case, then something isn't right with your installation - either your SD card or something like that.
