I believe the CPU speed is collected once at startup -- what if the
CPU speed was clocked down (or up) after gmond started and this
"current" speed was collected -- then it no longer is current.

The other option is to collect this metric periodically, but probably
only do this if scaling is enabled.

But do people really need this feature? :)

Cheers,

Bernard
