There's something. You have a 4 x 1.8 GHz CPU but it's actually running at 800 MHz across all cores. 1.8 GHz is already at the slow end by modern standards but 800 MHz is definitely slow. If you actually did this while doing something which you felt was slow, it should have stepped up the frequency. This _might_ be different on an older kernel but I'm curious what the CPU frequency governor is set to. Please try: for policy in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/; do echo $policy ; cat $policy/scaling_governor ; cat $policy/scaling_max_freq ; done (note: all on one line) and show us the output. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
