and just to close this thread, all i had to do is put

performance_cx_lowest="HIGH"

into my /etc/rc.conf and then

# /etc/rc.d/power_profile 0x01

this fixes things for me.

i find it strange that /etc/defaults/rc.cond has 
performance_cx_lowest="LOW", but someone must have had a good reason for 
this.

thanks,
max
