I am still having the worst problems with web browsing speed. One of the problems is FreeBSD is running the CPU at the "base" speed all the time.
This CPU is an N3710 which has a base speed of 1.6 ghz and a turbo speed of 2.56 ghz. FreeBSD runs this CPU at 1.6 ghz at all times. At no time does the speed go above 1.6 ghz. Combine this with the Falkon browser and it is a nightmare of epic proportions.
I tried running:
sudo sysctl debug.cpufreq.lowest=2000
with no change.
I tried running:
sudo powerd
with the error:
powerd: error reading supported CPU frequencies: No error: 0
I googled for the error with no good results.
With Linux and an N4100 which has a base speed of 1.1 ghz and a turbo speed of 2.4 ghz I can set the turbo speed to run at all times unless the processor gets too hot or is requiring too much power. This is pretty simple really.
I am disappointed that I have not been getting the speed out of this system that I should have been getting.
