Hi, I'm using an Intel Johnstown board with an Atom N270 processor. Performance seems to improve dramatically with acpi-cpufreq loaded. This caught me by surprise. I had assumed that without loading acpi-cpufreq the CPU would be running at its maximum speed all the time. I have a few questions: * Is it normal for performance to improve with acpi-cpufreq loaded? * /proc/cpuinfo always reports the CPU's maximum clock speed when acpi-cpufreq is not loaded, which seems to be inconsistent with my performance observations. Does that seem normal? * Does acpi-cpufreq impact performance in any way besides controlling CPU frequency? * What governs CPU frequency when acpi-cpufreq is not loaded? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Forest -- Forest Bond http://www.alittletooquiet.net http://www.pytagsfs.org
