Gentlemen, Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt.gz, and the relevant Documentation/*/*/*ACPI*/ document (that I cannot find), should both emphasize that /proc/acpi/processor/CPU/throttling and /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/ while appearing to describe the same thing, the e.g., same eight steps, etc., are apparently independent of each other. One finds that a process that took 1 second will take 7 seconds when choosing the lowest cpufreq step. Choosing the lowest throttling step on the other hand causes that process to take 14 seconds! And combining both cpufreq and throttling causes it to take much longer. All these phenomena should be explained.
