Observational notice...

[Scott Likens]

I've been observing my 5.2-RC box lately and it's running _ALOT_ slower
then it has previously.

It has no ACPI throttling support, and quite frankly this is annoying
me, my ubench marks have gone down over 3000 points.

Granted this is a SMP machine, with or without ULE (using 4BSD) it makes
no difference.

it's like a slug on wheels.

Has anyone else observed this? or is this a unique situation?

This is a dual P2-450 with 1gig of Ecc (Xeon processor's)

It's not exactly the greatest thing on the market, but I need it to work
properly and this isn't good.

any hints?  i've read the thread on acpi throttling, but I don't believe
I fall into that catagory due to the age of the cpu.
