I got a question here. I have a 700MHz iBook 2.2 and I wonder whether
it scales the cpu frequency dynamically based on load and policy.
Ie:

/proc/cpufreq
17:20 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/viktor # cat /proc/cpufreq
minimum CPU frequency - maximum CPU frequency - policy
CPU 0 400000 kHz ( 57 %) - 700000 kHz (100 %) - performance

Note the difference in the clock speed and bogomips counter. So static
scaling seems to work.
However, when I generate load in the powersave mode, the clock speed and
bogomips count stay the same. The only difference I see is in the cpu
temperature, which starts to climb very fast. Is this an indication of
higher cpu speed? Or is it still clocked at 400MHz?
