I noticed in your dmesg output the lines "CPU supports Enhanced Speedstep, but is not recognized." Are you running powerd? I wasn't on a system and found that the CPU was defaulting to the lowest speed step settings. I was seeing less than half the performance compared to Linux on my performance tests. Check the output of sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq and see if the reported frequency is what it should be for your processor (2500). If not, just enabling powerd may solve your problem. Thanks, Carl
