Opps - I was looking at the wrong line.. It is really due to booting
on battery - you can try (on PIII):

modproble speedstep-lib

Check  /proc/cpufreq - and change the state by:
echo -n "0:100%:100%:performance" > /proc/cpufreq

or install cpudyn (available as rpm from  http://dag.wieers.com/packages/cpudyn/)
