Turn off cpuspeed e.g:
# /etc/init.d/cpuspeed off

It's a known issue with the CPU speed throttling on the Opterons - HP
mentions it somewhere in release notes for the latest BIOS for the
BL25ps. 
(or maybe I'm getting confused and cpuspeed is another issue with clock
making them run slow... I forget ;-))
