You can try: 'killall -SIGUSR1 cpuspeed' and see if to goes to max speed (/proc/cpuinfo) - and you get all your performance back. You can also disable it by turning off 'cpuspeed' service. I like using sppedstep on FC1.(go to max-freq only if you need the extra cycles). I don't have any x-window refresh issues. Satish
