How about setting "performance" governor[1] for all CPUs ?
Would that work ? I mean no throttle down, but not sure if we have a
constant cpufreq.

Something like the following script:

for CPUFREQ in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor;
	do [ -f $CPUFREQ ] || continue; 
	echo -n performance > $CPUFREQ;
done
