I should also add, I have no problem with CPU frequency automatically boosting when needed... $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq 800101 $ while : ; do : ; done & [1] 4817 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq 4600947 $ kill 4817 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq 800174 So that's 0.8GHz -> 4.6GHz -> 0.8GHz -- Tixy
