Here are some initial findings. When I say I change the frequencies,
then I mean that a script toggles from max to min or from min to max
every two seconds. I will let the machine run overnight to compare, but
the interesting fact is that the cycle difference where the same for a
short test (2 minutes) and a medium test (2 hours). The maching is a
two-way dual-core Tyan Thunder K8WE 2895.
letting the computer run while toggling the freqs for 2 hours, set freqs
to max, then put all but cpu0 offline.

I waited just a little bit and did not do any freq changes, but when I
put the cores online, the differences where about the same???

sorry if this word-wrappings looks as bad by you as it does with
