My old Athlon 64 was similar to that, so I had a script setup to quickly switch to high speed, and a timout option. I would use that at times when I wanted to run several small programs so they would avoid the delay, but then if I forgot it would drop the speed back. They aren't very long, so I will list them here. Both of these must be run by sudo since cpufreq-set requires root permissions. I had buttons setup on the desktop panel so I could just press the fast button to run 'sudo fast -t 300' for 5 minutes of fast operation. That is definitely crude, but it worked for most things I wanted. I also had a slow program, but that was only because that cpu would sometimes get stuck in a faster speed. ---- start /usr/local/bin/fast --- #!/bin/sh unset timeout freq=`cpufreq-info -f` while getopts "t:" opt do case $opt in t)timeout=$OPTARG ;; *) echo usage: $0 [-t <seconds>] exit 1 ;; esac done cpufreq-set -g performance if [ $timeout ] then (sleep $timeout;ondemand)& fi exit 0 ---- end /usr/local/bin/fast --- ---- start /usr/local/bin/ondemand ---- #!/bin/sh cpufreq-set -g ondemand exit 0 ---- end /usr/local/bin/ondemand ---- -- Carl Johnson ca...@peak.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
