[gentoo-user] CPU clock frequency crashing.

[Alan Grimes <alonzotg@verizon.net>]

Hey, I'm having usability problems in applications as my CPU clock 
frequency crashes down to about 530 mhz... I need it lock in a floor 
frequency of 1.25 ghz... I used
cpupower frequency-set -d 1.25GHz  which does lift it up to a usable 
frequency but a day later it crashes down to garbage again. The machine 
is capable of 4.5 ghz or better on 32 cores. (it's a $3,200 processor, I 
shouldn't have to experience anything resembling a slowdown while the 
load average is under about 128...)

Basically, if it's not about to catch fire, then I need it to honor that 
frequency floor.

The next question is why it's even trying to scale down that low when 
there are a bunch of threads running flat out trying to show me youtube 
ads and crap. =\
