I've just had a quick look at /etc/init.d/cpuspeed script.  It should 
print a message during boot, like with any other services ("Starting 
cpuspeed: [OK]").  In addition to that, you should see it logged in 
/var/log/boot.log, and probably in /var/log/messages too.  So there is a 
bootup message.
