Re: [Thinkpad] Strange slowdown of T22

That is NOT a speedstep feature. It will only step down to around 700 Mhz
Some malicious software is at work, or you may be having an overheat
problem. The first think IBM would probably do is replace the heat pad on
the CPU
You can pop the keyboard and use white thermal paste - same as they do. It
will probably help.
