Package: cpufrequtils
Version: 007-1
Severity: important
cpufreq is installed with the default options as set by the Debian installer.
With 100% CPU load, the CPUs still run at the lowest speed.

analyzing CPU 0:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: 10.0 us.
hardware limits: 800 MHz - 2.53 GHz
available frequency steps: 2.53 GHz, 2.53 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 800 MHz
available cpufreq governors: userspace, powersave, conservative, ondemand,
performance
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 800 MHz.
The "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 800 MHz.
cpufreq stats: 2.53 GHz:0.00%, 2.53 GHz:0.00%, 1.60 GHz:0.00%, 800

Choosing a different governor, eg "ondemand" doesn't change this.
