Strangely, I accidentally booted a 3.2 kernel this morning and it is
working at full speed. The machine is a desktop, so it is always on AC
power.

anton@smeg:~$cat /proc/version_signature 
Ubuntu 3.2.0-22.35-generic 3.2.14
 
anton@smeg:~$cpufreq-info 
cpufrequtils 007: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
Report errors and bugs to cpuf...@vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
  maximum transition latency: 10.0 us.
  hardware limits: 1.60 GHz - 1.87 GHz
  available frequency steps: 1.87 GHz, 1.60 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, 
performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 1.60 GHz and 1.87 GHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 1.87 GHz.

I am beginning to think that the BIOS or hardware is at fault.
