Synopsis: CPU speed incorrectly reported

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback
State-Changed-By: dwmalone
State-Changed-When: Mon Dec 23 02:57:24 PST 2002
State-Changed-Why: 
The speed of the CPU is actually measured by seeing how many
instructions are executed in an interval measured by the real time
timer. This suggests that either your CPU is running slow or the
timer is running fast.

The CPU could be running slow because of APM or ACPI settings
reducing power consumption by slowing the CPU. Can you look into
this possibility?

	David.
