OK.. this is strange, maybe.

# cat /proc/cpufreq
minimum CPU frequency - maximum CPU frequency - policy
CPU 0 300685 kHz ( 12 %) - 2405487 kHz (100 %) - performance

# cat /proc/sys/cpu/0/*
2405487
2405487
300685

# echo 300685 >proc/sys/cpu/0/speed
[box stalls for about 25-30 seconds]

# cat /proc/sys/cpu/0/*

?!?! Should the P4 really be able to go to 112%, and why would it do that
after I told it to go back to 100% ?

Any idea why the box would stall (at least no kb/mouse input is accepted,
not sure about other interrupts) for such a long time when changing the
speed?

On the other hand, some short (<1 min) cpu-bound processes for benchmarking
each took the same amount of time to run when the clock was at 12%, 100%,
and 112%, so I'm not sure the clock was really being changed at all.
