Your cpu is being throttled back according to your powermanagment settings. You can find them in the yast sysconfig editor under powermanagment. Full speed always if you want!

That's powersave at work, "powersave -f" and take a look again, "powersave -A" and you are back to where you are now. When CPU full speed is not needed, it reduces the power and speed in the interest of battery power saving and heat output. When you need the umph, like when compiling a kernel, "cat /proc/cpuinfo" will then show full MHz speed. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.

No, running off AC, but the power management setting seems to explain it. -- Cheers, Trey --- There is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has not yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day. - Friedrich Nietzsche 4:37pm up 5:37, 3 users, load average: 1.09, 0.95, 0.63 Linux linux 2.6.5-17.14-default #1 Tue May 18 14:09:50 UTC 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
