That just means that not speed control application is telling your CPU to
run slower than full speed, and that's not a cause of slowdown. I don't
recall that you said what your CPU is, but if 800MHz is full speed, it may
not have any speedstep or other features.
I'd look elsewhere. If you run "vmstat 10 20 >stat.vm" and examine the
output file, you may see some indication of the bottleneck. Of course if
your computer is old and slow, no tuning will make it otherwise. :-(

The processor I am using is a Pentium 4 3.0GHZ 800MHZ-FSB HT
processor. I am trying to figure out why the red graph in the CPU area
of K System Guard is so high. Thanks again.
