Brian,

If your application desires reduced battery consumption you might want to consider not using the 50 MHz resonator and prescale approach, but a slower clock.

Guenther summed it up well and I will paraphrase. If you are running the SX a lot faster than you need to, it is like driving a car at 30 mph in 1st gear and the engine is at red-line...Compared to a slower clock speed its would be like driving the same 30 mph in 4th gear and the engine rpm will be much lower.
