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? Dave.

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.
