I bought a laptop which uses an Intel CPU with SpeedStep. Sometimes when
I boot the kernel recognizes the full MHz, and other times it is much less.
And of course the BogoMIPS reflect this we well.

I'm wondering if this has any sort of side-effect on the kernel? Will
it disrupt timing loops and such? (I have no idea what I'm talking about ;)

Since Linus works at Transmeta, the kings of power saving, I'm guessing this
has no effect.
