HEY!  I can too!  I had tried this before, thinking that /proc/cpuinfo
would give me the correct info, but it apparently does not (hence my
assumption that once set at boot, it's set).  However, how do you tell what
speed it's running at (without running a series of benchmarks to decide?) 
It's certainly possible to write a little script to do this, but it MUST be
noted somewhere in the system...

I'll check this out.  Which kernel?
