powerd won't run your CPU at a specific clock frequency - it varies the

The load was 0, only thing that was running was mbmon.

Fair enough.. still.. makes testing simpler IMO.

Agreed. However thats how i tested it :P
You could try what I do but there are some systems which are very slow to
change clock speed so this could be an impediment.
What was part of my question, is it the hardware or the software thats
at fault here. I.e. would a cool n quiet system be better.

Hard to say.
I don't see how you can possibly get the frequencies you say with the hardware you claim.

What does sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq_levels say?
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor (1410.21-MHz 686-class CPU)

# sysctl dev.cpu.0
dev.cpu.0.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.0.%location: handle=\_PR_.CPU0
dev.cpu.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0
dev.cpu.0.%parent: acpi0
dev.cpu.0.freq: 87
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 1403/-1 1315/-1 1227/-1 1139/-1 1052/-1 964/-1 876/-1 789/-1 701/-1 613/-1 526/-1 438/-1 350/-1 263/-1 175/-1 87/-1

I think i meant 87, instead of 75.
