Looks OK.

Could you please do something like that:
sysctl dev.ichist.0.speedstep=1

This should put the processor in the lower frequency/voltage.  To verify
this is ok, could you please do something like this:

> openssl speed sha1
and see if there is a change.  You can of course set the frequency to
the higher speed by sysctl dev.ichist.0.speedstep=0

Thanks,
