For anyone that might have this problem: I finally noticed what was lagging my 
PC, probably for ages. Duh.
This solved it - either the kernel boot parameter to disable the BIOS imposed 
limit as above, or what is noted down here:

speed.html

(as root)
echo 1 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/ignore_ppc
(this will not persist)

It's on a Lenovo X220. My battery's in a poor shape + my charger cable
is (poorly) DIY fixed, which are probably connected.
