My laptop seemed very slow with FC2. I think I have seen others comment that they where having similar problems. After looking through this thread I discovered that my CPU seemed to always be set to the lowest frequency, even when plugged in. After playing around with the stuff in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq I was able to set my CPU to it highest speed and it soo much faster. My governor is set to "userspace" so I guess my problem is that I am not actually running a user space governor. So, Is there a user space governor that comes with FC2? Someone mentioned a Gnome CPU frequency applet, I can't seem to find it on my laptop. Is this something I need to install separate?
