Too sad, this means that others must also face this problem. And not
everyone will know about a possible solution. Everyone will see that
the processor is simply running slower. Slower builds kernel, lower
FPS in games. And the slowdown is exactly two times. If there is
nothing to compare with, then everyone will think that it should be
there.
