Depending on your settings, powerd will try and raise the clock rate at different rates based on system load. 4402 is simply double the current clock rate, which probably means your system is busy and powerd is trying to quickly raise the clock rate. It doesn't bother capping the target value at the maximum, though, since it'll find out a bit later in the code when it actually tries to set a new clockrate and realizes that it's already at max. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
