Found out the problem. Wasn't a problem after all. Mainboard supports frequency scaling. It was automatically scaling back to 1GHz to save power. Put a frequency monitor on the panel and opened OpenOffice.org spread sheet. Watched it jump to
2.4 GHz quite quickly and then it scaled back to 1GHz. Kinda of nice. I installed Beryl and it seemed to get X up to speed. Must have been something Beryl requires that X had not been utilizing. Thanks for your input. Made me think of things I hadn't before.
