N900 is nigh impossible to "brick". Brick means completely unresponsive. The N900 gets bootlooped, non-booting, or otherwise non-functional, but I don't think anyone has truly bricked their with just kernel flashes yet. All the people who have bricked their N900s with power kernel uninstalls, unless they messed up something else, no doubt were able to solve it with a reflash.
Moving on: No, overclocking in any way will void your warranty.

Moving on: No, overclocking in any way will void your warranty. Also, I read somewhere on here that all kernel flashes are recorded somewhere (somewhere not safe to touch, like where the bootloader sits), that said, I'm not sure if power kernel installs are evidence of overclocking to the people who process these phones on warranty... *Shrug*
That said, overclocking is only one way of speeding things up - it still will only speed up SOME processes - there's other processes that are slow because of swapping I/O bottlenecks, and that can be sped up by moving swap onto your SD card, which is actually slower in pure I/O speed (or so I've read), but will be faster for most processes because you don't have both swap I/O and eMMC storage I/O bottlenecking on the same bus.
Alternatively there's a few threads on here for things like reducing the write queueing and the like, which in my experience does seem to help with some of the slow downs that things like overclocking don't address (at the same time, places where overclocking would speed things up, it doesn't actually improve, so yeah).
