I have this issue on a new Thinkpad X220 only when i am on AC power WITHOUT the battery. I've found that this happens due the 65W AC adaptor does not supply enough power to handle peak power draws from the CPU/disk/GPU on the later ThinkPads and probably other laptops and automatically downclocks CPU to the lowest frequency. The explanation and possible solution in this page : <a href = "http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_CPU_frequency_scaling";>http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_CPU_frequency_scaling</a>
