Did anyone ever reach resolution on this, because I'm seeing similar
symptoms on my Inspiron 8200.  My P4 1600 boots at and stays at 1200,
even with the throttling disabled in the BIOS when not on battery
power.  I've compiled my kernel without APM, and in /boot/device.hints
the hint.apm.0.disabled sysctl is set to 1, so there shouldn't be any
APM interference.

Thanks much,
