I'm not sure what this means. What I was reporting was that cpuspeed on my 
machine *never* increased the speed of the cpu *at all* (apparently). It was 
always at its slowest setting and made the system unbearable to use. It just 
seemed "broken" so I stopped using it and went with powernowd.

Now, it is possible that it was functioning according to some design and that 
I just didn't know what that design was or how to modify it, but it seems 
seriously flawed to have the software set to perform "out of the box" in a 
way that seems fundamentally unacceptable and then not make the information 
on how to "correct" it front and center. Just my opinion.
