New game? - Cpufreq tag?

[Jim Cornette]

I am having to stepdown my cpufrequency periodically with the applet. 
The problem seems to be related in some way to gam_server and 
gnome-settings..
If I allow the cpu to stay at the maximum cpufrequency, my laptop would 
get hot enough to go into shutdown.

Overall, the system responsiveness is comparative to running RHL 6.x 
with mozilla and playing mp3s on a 166 MHz computer.

With the frequency at maximum or the frequency of the cpu reduced to 
34%, it is about the same responsiveness at either cpu frequency.

Any help appreciated. When the computer really gets slow, is when the 
cpu switches into max speed.
