To answer you and Attila, my main data analysis/search work is
CPU-bound; if I'm missing a simple configuration step to have it
complete in half the time it is worth an investment of my time to
discover it.

I tried installing and using cpufreq-set as Mattia suggested, with no
improvement; next thing to try is booting into Windows and running
Intel's linpack and some other benchmarks from there.
