After further investigation, I am convinced this is working as expected. When switched to Speed, there is a large Nvida configuration utility that can be accessed from All Aplications -> System Tools ->NVIDIA X server Settings. It can read the CPU temperature and allows me to set loads of things if I want to. In contrast, when I boot in the Stamina position, which uses the Intel chip set, there is very little that can be set on this Nvidia utility - not even resolution. The GPU temperature can't be read. It is also running warmer in the Speed position and the fan running louder, so it seems this Speed/Stamina switch is selecting the correct graphics chip set (Intel 950 or Nvidia GeForce Go 7400).
