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.
