If I run Orca, navigate the desktop, start gnome-terminal and check the CPU
speed of the laptop, I find that it remains at 800mhz, which is the slowest
setting.

I am using CPU frequency scaling, and have chosen the "on demand" governor,
which varies the CPU speed according to the current load. Sometimes in
Firefox, it moves up to 1.6ghz, still less than the 1.8ghz maximum.
