Hi,
I'm running a Core 2 Duo E6750 as my media center with an i915 graphics card and I'm running up to some very odd performance characteristics. In the main menu, with about 1% load on the cores, I'm getting ~6fps. But if I run "stress --cpu 1" (which means that I run a stress test on one CPU core) at the same time I get around 30fps in the main menu.
Does anyone know what causes this and how I can get the better performance at all times, without essentially disabling one core and causing it excess heat?
