Doubtful this is of any help, but fwiw . . .

First, besides disabling scaling in the BIOS, also instruct the kernel to do 
the same.  Add the "cpufreq=no" argument to your boot line.  My cpu's are 
overclocked, and this works at least as far as scaling is concerned.

On my Phenom II wkstn, I have also found performance degradation over time.  
Tools like top, htop, and ksysguard will report much higher cpu consumption 
than the detail processes sum up to.  I have noticed that X will momentarily 
but repeatedly spike the cpu, and that the pct creeps up.  While the only 
little evidence I've been able to find has been X, with possibly Plasma or 
Firefox also somehow related, I can't pin it down with certainty.  Usually 
re-starting X resolves, but on occasion I need to re-boot (I suspect to flush 
memory).  Of note is that this behavior continues with different kernels.
