Most likely the laptop has speedstep so is running at 250Mhz to save power. If you've got a currentish -ac kernel you can load the speedstep cpufreq support and flip the CPU between fast and slow mode as you want. In some cases APM will also do the work for you - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
