If you really mean perfectly, there's a full list of people who'd like
to copy your setup.. :) Alas, yours doesn't seem perfect either.

This I can offer some insight on: my OB6k (850MHz) also runs at a lower
speed after a suspend/resume cycle, but a standby/resume cycle (invoked
by apm -S as opposed to hitting the suspend button or apm -s) will reset
it back to the full speed. Reboot is still an unsolved problem for
myself as well.

A recent thread on the list regarding XE3 hotkeys brought a special DMI
identification feature of the Linux kernel to my attention, and it seems
there are numerous laptops (including Sony Vaios) which report the
battery time incorrectly and can be worked around with the DMI code.
I've yet to try whether that would solve the problem for OB6k as well..
