[ltp] ThinkPad CPU frequency

[James Knott]

I'm running SuSE 9.1 on an IBM ThinkPad R31.  One thing I've noticed, is 
that /proc/cpuinfo shows the cpu running at 731 MHz, and /proc/cpufreq 
shows 731 MHz as the minimum frequency and 1130 MHz as maximum.  The 
computer is running on AC, and the BIOS is set for maximum performance. 
  Why is the cpu running at minimum speed, while on AC and how would I 
change it?  Both APM & ACPI are off.

tnx jk
