I am not sure why the kernel is reporting a slower CPU speed than what
you actually have but perhaps there is some scaling going on? The
OS is
throttling down the CPU when its idle? I am of course just guessing
here
but can you look and see if cpudyn is installed? or a similar software
package?
http://mnm.uib.es/gallir/cpudyn/faq.html
Did the output of of cat /proc/cpuinfo occur right after boot? take a
few measurements at different times to confirm the speed.
Maybe you can even set it to the right speed by installing cpudyn or
similar.
Also paste the output of grep -i CPU /boot/config*, it might be useful
to see whats going on.

Hello Thank you for your reply, i was absent for a while so i didn't
noticed it until today.
i have installed cpudyn (i had cpufreqd before) and looked at the
faq. i have seen that my kernel didn't have the support for cpufreq.
i don't have anything in :
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/
so i'm going to check my kernel again.
the result of my config file : grep -i CPU /boot/config* :
CONFIG_X86_CPUID=m
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
# CPU Frequency scaling
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_PROC_INTF is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_24_API is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y
# CPUFreq processor drivers
I have recompiled my kernel today with a great care on cpufrequency
and i don't understand what is not right.
if you have an idea...
I'm pretty sure that this CPU have a speedstep features.
Sometime after many test with cpufreqd and some modules (speedstep-
smi and speedstep-lib) (who said that it can't do anything) /proc/
cpuinfo was at 230 mhz instead of 500 and the computer was slower
than normal. i don't know exactly what action did that.
