    I have 2 laptops as mentioned, 3 all amd athlon based. The 3rd is
    an asus which I'm relatively happy with.

    What I have is when I pull the AC out of it, the sysctl for cpu
    speed goes from 2200 to 100 or 400. Basically the system becomes
    rather unusable.

    I tried the acpi_hp module, and it now switches to 800. This is
    better, but barely usable still.

    I'd like to see a response similar to the asus if its possible;
    this effectively stays the same, but drops speed if nothing is
    happening.

    Ideally, I'd think that it would be better if the system adjusted
    speed to use requirements during operation, but neither does that.
    I suspect that the asus should (in theory) as it does do it on
    battery only; but unless I'm really hammering all the time, it
    just doesn't seem to happen when I'm looking at it.

    The settings used on all for powerd is hiadaptive for AC, adaptive
    for battery.

    If I'm doing something wrong let me know, if more data is required
    I'm happy to help the cause :)

    TIA

First, let's get a bit more information. Please provide:

I'd like to get this system running nicely if I can - its been just getting there for too long now because of other projects taking my attention and I've got bite the bullet and work this out.

BTW, just to make a liar out of me after I sent that post, the system did start to change the cpu speed on AC - but it took a while. I had sat there monitoring the system with little activity and it remained at 2200; when I gave up waiting and sent that post I then started to really give it to it and the speed started dropping and rising a little. However, given I was trying to do an encoding with ffmpeg at the time, the speed probably should have remained at 2200 as my frames encoded per second was about half of normal. So I don't really know what to expect :)
