What does your Bios say for speed of cpu?
It sure sounds like cool and quiet is on or C2 - C3 is still on

[amiga5 at localhost ~]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | fgrep 'cpu MHz'
cpu MHz        : 3600.164
cpu MHz        : 3600.164
cpu MHz        : 3600.164
cpu MHz        : 3600.164
[amiga5 at localhost ~]$

This is accurate and my Bios is reflecting this speed as well
