CPU frequency and custom kernel

I've built my own kernel, but the CPU runs faster (hotter, more fan noise, etc.) I can't figure out why it's faster. Everything I've checked is the same between the two kernels. If I boot to the Debian provided kernel the CPU runs at 800 MHz, but if I boot to my custom kernel it runs at 1.8 GHz. (
