I have a Thinkpad W520 computer (4270CTO) and I am running Fedora 20 and keeping its

and the computer is very responsive. I have run some programs that take a long time (hours
to days) and have watched the frequency go up when there is only one thread running and go
down when there are several threads running. So it seems to be working very nicely.
My W520 (on F19) does not show this problem.
Have a look at system messages; there could be thermal related limits
which are enforced even if the load and preferences would like to
have a high speed.
