I'm just guessing here - but does your laptop have any kind of inbuilt CPU
speed throttling enabled, similar to Intel's speedstep technology? (think
AMD's is called cool&quiet or something?).  If so, may be worth disabling
that to see if it makes any difference  - maybe combined with your other
utilities?

This problem comes up frequently with GPL.  There are several solutions
at the GPL FAQ at http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=105748 and
as Dave said, it has to do with disabling the power saving features.
Sometimes it's not that easy to do as you'll see in the FAQ.
