Hi Jaromir,

I just ran a little test on my 4-core laptop.

Using top with some fprintf statements, taskset for cpu affinity, cpufreq-set 
to force a given frequency and cpufreq-info for verification, here's what I 
found.

The kernel tics recorded for /proc/stat line one AND each individual cpu line 
are virtually identical when running at either 800MHz or 2.10GHz.

Does this make your problem go away?

Jim
