Hi Andreas, Thank for your your insight. I did some tests on my machine and sure enough, under heavier loads it shows the CPU clock speeds as 2GHZ (as it should be).
What I did not realize earlier was that cpuinfo is not a static file but is in fact updated by the system every 1 minute. Thanks again.

We power down the cpu when it's idle. Give it some more to do and it will increase again. The feature is called cpu frequency scaling, you can control it with the powersave command.
