Public bug reported: The processor speed of my X220 is, according to /proc/cpuinfo, 800MHz. That's fin when the machine is idling, but if I run a program which needs more procssor powr, I would xpect that the clock speed is increased to 2.7GHz. As a naive test, I ran this little Python script:
s = 0 for i in xrange(50000000): s += i*i On the X220, this needs -- with an 800MHz clock, 36 seconds. On another machine, with a 2.4GHz Cor2Duo processor, it needs 14 seconds. When the script is running, the proceso speed increases to 2.4 GHz.
