I'ld look at the cpu frequency governor. |

governor: |

"If you have a desktop machine then you should really be considering |
| 11 |
the 'ondemand' governor instead, however if you are using a laptop, |
| 12 |
PDA or even an AMD64 based computer (due to the unacceptable |
| 13 |
step-by-step latency issues between the minimum and maximum frequency |
| 14 |
transitions in the CPU) you will probably want to use this governor." |

As far as I can understand, this means that AMD64 takes "a lot" of |
| 17 |
time to switch between two frequencies, so "the system freezes a |
| 18 |
little bit" when this happens. |

This is why I've choosen the conservative governor for my HP dv5000 |
| 21 |
laptop. |

My 2 cents ;-) |
