if you use gnome, you can ad on the panel a CPU frequency applet that alow 
control over cpu frequency.
i'm sure kde have the same kind of stuff.

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz
give the curent cpu frequency

    Hello,

    are you sure that your CPU frequency did not change?
    i sometime have this problem : the CPU slowdown to save some power,
    introducing audio problem.
    i simply put it full speed every-time i use CPU intensive applications.
    i don't know how to do this on fedora, but it should be possible.

        Hi all!

        I m running into a problem right that has to do with cpu
        consumption,
        but not with GUI. In my live guitar processing patch i use the
        core of
        Miller's Phase Vocoder patch for time-stretching. It records bits of
        what i play and time-stretches them.
        Now my problem is that it freaks out at times, the sound gets
        dirty like
        audio drop-outs, and this is correlated with higher cpu
        consumption. The
        thing is that I made my patch as carrefully as i could, that is with
        minimal GUI and no bangs blinking all the time, and switch~
        objects to
        cut the audio within all the subpatches that are not in use at a
        certain
        moment in time.
        Also, my time-stretching subpatch works fine most of the time,
        in effect
        i can use it for two hours in a row without drop-outs. Yet
        sometimes it
        just freaks out.

        So i was wondering, could this be my Fedora desktop that's messing
        things up? I have Fedora 12, rt kernel, with the standard
        desktop (which
        i guess is GNOME?). Would it make sense to try another desktop,
        like Xfce?

        I read in a post somewhere that Miller uses a specific desktop
        which is
        very light and ideal for work audio work, but i can't find it now.
        Any advice welcome!

        Pierre
