My thinkpad boots and stays at a lower performance state (733 vs. 1 ghz) if 
booted on batteries, even when later plugged in.  So are you booting with the 
AC adapter in?  Also, check your BIOS settings (as someone else said).

I'm trying to finish up the cpufreq driver, which will provide automatic and 
manual control of clock/voltage.  That's the real answer.
