So I thought I would try those same options on my r4000 laptop. they had no effect.... This AMD turion 64 4000+ rating laptop is still running SLOWWW... /proc/cpuinfo has the cpu Mhz running at 2393
Yes, the 4000+ is 2.4GHz.
below is my dmesg output for the r4000. There is a line talking about "Your time source seems to be instable or

Ouch. Sounds like that's where your problem is. If you have fluttering bus arbitrators/controllers, then that absolutely kills performance.

Yep, there are your modes. Again, your 4000+ is a 2.4GHz.

Hmmm, are you getting any ATA timeouts after the system is booted?
