I've posted that before, but I've serious trouble with cpufreq. It returns 
once loaded it makes the CPU speed drop from 1.4GHz to 800MHz (666 when 
throttled). If the kde info thingy is somewhat relyable at all that's for 
real - the bogomips drop as well. Returning to 1.4GHz seems impossible 
without restarting (I've tried unloading the module). Somehow cpufreq gets 
the stupid idea that the CPU is scaleable between 500 and 600MHz which has to 
be the reason for those odd results. We are talking about a Mobile Athlon XP 
1600+ here, BTW (though it's reported by linux as a 1500+). If you ask me 
that's a serious problem. The odd thing, however, is that it didn't happen 
with the same kernel version before. Maybe it depends on some intel code to 
work correct (I used to have the CPU in the kernel set to PIII, now it's 
correctly at Athlon) or maybe it has something to do with the swsp patch that 
I *don't* have applied to my actual kernel. HELP!
The same odd behavior(sp?) appears with clean 2.5.72 and 2.6.0-test1 kernels.
