Wrong CPU Speed on Toshiba Tecra


I have a Toshiba Tecra M2-S430 laptop, with a 1400 MHz Intel Pentium M and a Centrino chipset. My problem is that the CPU does not seem to be running at full speed:

Code:
ben@ulysses ~ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 9
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1400MHz
stepping        : 5
cpu MHz         : 598.539
cache size      : 1024 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 2
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 tm pbe est tm2
bogomips        : 1197.58
I am running Gentoo, and have tried compiling all of the ACPI and CPU frequency scaling options into the kernel and as modules, but with no change. I got the same reading even when I booted the machine to Knoppix.

I searched around, and found this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ecra+cpu+speed. I changed the settings suggested in the BIOS, but this has not made a difference either. Can anyone shed any light on this?
