Comparing my FreeBSD8 and FedoraLinux12 systems (both using KDE and running
on the same computer Dell netbook) I notice on the Bottom bar monitoring
CPU graph that the CPU under FreeBSD8 is in average 40% above
the FedoraLinux12 -comparison for the exactly same type of computing
tasks-.The warming of the netbook for
example,after 1 hour running is clearly higher with FreeBSD8 than with
FedoraLinux12.
Is this SpeedStep not running on one system and running on the other,or is
there something configurable on
FreeBSD which must be done manually and it is not done automatically to
approximate the charge on the CPU
under FreeBSD to the FedoraLinux?


 Thanks.
