This is annoying
I run Fedora, latest release, on a Dell Latitude C840. When the fan activates, the machine suddenly throttles to a crawl - so badly that the three finger salute takes two minutes! I've checked top and nothing is eating cycles. I suspect there's something in the kernel I need to tweak, because a warm reboot usually fixes the problem. Any thoughts on what I should set/do?
I'm tired of having a Linux lappy behave like I'm running that other OS.
Qvacks?
Fixed (partly): The problem was in the cpuspeed daemon, which has a default throttling temperature lower than my Dell's average operating temperature. I editted /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed to set the throttle temperature to 70(c) and did a service restart. The PC returned to normal. The edited file should carry over the change at cold boot, but does not.
No help from here, but thanks anyhow guys. Qvacks!
