Would it not be relevant to keep listing the maximum CPU speed as well
as the real, current CPU speed?

Intel encode this into their CPUID string and when I bring up Windows' System
Properties dialog I get this;

Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz
593MHz, 512MB of RAM

So you can always, always find out very easily what spec your processor
is, and not just what cpufreq has done with it?

Is it speed or quick? This and the comment below confused me, KHz or Hz? :D
