9300 runs OSX Slow.. Anyone seen this?

[letni]

I have an Inspiron 9300 with a 1.73ghz pentium-m in it and I just loaded the latest 10.4.8 (8.8.1) kernel image and every thing runs fine when I have the power adapter plugged in. When I unplug the power, though, MacOS 10.4.8 runs about 1/2 the speed. Minimizing windows, running apps, everything runs less than 1/2 the normal speed it is supposed to. I have tried booting with platform=X86PC and have been able to figure out what is going on. I imagine it has to do with the fact the cpu uses Intel Speed steping and slows the CPU down.. Anyone have and ideas?

 

Thanks

After some investigation, it looks like the PowerManagement.bundle that is from the forums here is included with Jas 10.4.8 ppf1 to allow for battery to show up on laptops. For some reason, with this bundle enabled, I have the problem with the machine slowing to less than 1/2 the normal rate (slow GUI). Aparently something needs to be done with PowerManagement.bundle with the new 10.4.8 (8.8.1) kernel

I'm having the same problem with my Dell 9300. If it goes into sleep mode or I pull the power, I'm screwed. I'm thinking we should start a 10.4.8 on Inspiron 9300 thread so the 6+ of us I've already seen lately can pool our results together and get as much working as possible.
