That's great Kay, thanks for the info!  Question, if you don't mind my
asking: how new is your hardware?  The reason I ask is that certain newer
Intel processors (11th generation mobile "Tiger Lake" i5 and i7) have a
thermal issue where it's throttled down to 400MHz in certain heavy loads.
There is a fix coming for this in 5.18 and I'm not sure if RedHat is going
to backport it to earlier kernels.  (There is a stopgap to this, if you
replace the thermald package with a thermald version 2.4.9 or later the
problem isn't as bad.)
