So, some interesting progress on this from my end.  After seeing the fan
messages in David's output, I decided to check my fan.  I noticed it didn't seem
to be running.  I played around a bit and didn't seem to be able to force it on.
 I also noticed the computer was running at about 54 degrees celcius.

I opened up my laptop, cleaned out the fan (which was full of crap) and
rebooted.  The fan spun right up.  Since doing this, my computer seems to be
scaling no problem.  I forced the CPU speed up to 1.4Ghz and it has stayed there
since (which in the past, it would eventually reset itself to 600Mhz).  I looked
at the temperature now and it is at 45 degrees celcius.

So, it SEEMS like my machine may have been overheating and the computer was
trying to compinsate by lowering the cpu level.  Is there a hard limit somewhere
in the kernel (again probably something that would have been added in late
August/early September) for temperature?  Seems like this may have been causing
my issues.

Will let you know if this stops working, but I've been running for about 2 1/2
hours without issue.
