Thanks for the quick reply Venki.

Right, that's 1 (was not aware that existed :-P)
And changing it to 0 solves the problem.

Next question is: how and why does it get set?
As userland has not changed (AFAIK), my first suspect remains the kernel.

# grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/ondemand/*
