Intel will not release docs for SpeedStep, so we cannot do anything about this except annoy Intel (or buy competing, documented processors).
I have a Toshiba P-III laptop with SpeedStep. It was similarly slow until I got into the BIOS setup screen and cranked up the BIOS settings from "max saving" to "max performance."
(BTW, most laptops -do- have a BIOS setup... it's just that many manufacturers hide the normal PC boot screen, where RAM is checked, IDE drives scanned, etc)
