    Hi....

    Out of curiosity, do you get the same results with these commands?

    Code:
    sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
    sudo cat /proc/cpuinfo

      Your system is likely just throttling down the cpu frequency to save power (and to keep things cool).

      The cpu frequency should scale up when you do something cpu intensive (in other words, when you need higher frequency)
