SGS2 + CM9 (RC1 1st Build): Flash Siyah Kernel 3.3.2

Steps:
1. Created backup via ROM Manager.
2. Copied Siyah-v3.3.2-CWM.zip to internal SD card.
3. Reboot in CWM Recovery
4. Flashed Siyah-v3.3.2-CWM.zip
5. Wipe cache partition.
6. Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
7. Reboot

First Impressions:
1. Settings > Performance > Processor - CPU governor is called PEGASUSQ (default CM9 is ONDEMAND). Also, max CPU frequency allowed is now 1600 MHz (default CM9 is1200 MHz)
2. CWM app now found in app drawer.
3. No lag at all when scrolling in WhatsApp, so far. I get the occasional lag on CM9 stock kernel.
4. Angry Birds performs better compared to CM9 stock kernel. There's still some noticeable choppy movements. Although I don't recall any performance issues when running Gingerbread ROMs (stock/custom).
5. Quadrant scores slightly higher compared to CM9 stock kernel. Score keeps increasing after each run though.

Couldn't verify beforehand; Maybe for future flashes
