My question is this: is this a pure hardware feature, or do we need to do something to support this properly? For example -- given my usage pattern, the primary time I'm running at max CPU speed for an extended period is when I'm doing a system build, which I do with -j3. That, of course, means that both CPUs will be running flat-out. What speed is it really running at? Like Joel, I've opted to use -M to cap the speed, for fear of overheating the chip. Am I being too cautious?
FYI, I opened a PR on this a while back: http://gnats.netbsd.org/36995 Cheers, Jared
