[Bug 59627] Intel Core Duo 50% load with powernowd running

[el3ktro]

Public bug reported:

I have an Averatec 2460 with Intel Core Duo T2300, Intel 945GM chipset.
When powernowd is running on an 2.6.15-26-686 kernel both CPUs have a
constant load of around 50%, the fan is always on. The system sometimes
lags a little. Top or gnome-system-monitor don't show any processes
consuming so much CPU time. When I stop powernowd and powernowd.early
then CPU load drops to around 5-8% on both CPUs which still is somewhat
high but much better.

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
