I wonder why Heinz has:
clocksource=hpet acpi_skip_timer_override

Peter's machine has an unstable TSC, that is strange, cpuflags show
constant_tsc.
So it seems it falls through some boot check to not increment constantly.

Hmm, you both seem to have problems with TSC..., aperf/mperf may be fed by the
same internal clock as TSC. If average frequency calced via aperf/mperf is very
low, the frequency would never get ramped up.

It's hard to believe, because you have so different CPUs, but it looks like you
both have broken TSC/aperf/mperf timers on CPU 0? At least Peter has?

Another patch to try.., please use:
acpi_cpufreq.disable_average=1
boot param and check dmesg that it got applied:
"acpi-cpufreq: average (aperf/mperf) accounting disabled by user"
