No, I've long ago noticed that CPU never goes above lowest speed at full
load even with the most aggressive governor, and believe me I've tried
doing quite a bit of testing since I discovered this. ;) However, that
particular test doesn't matter since the CPU should change frequency
when set explicitly (instead of being handled automatically by the
governor) which it doesn't. The problem isn't the _automatic_ scaling,
but scaling in general doesn't work at all...

I think I've also tried at some time writing directly to /sys interfaces
which should always work, but no luck...
