Mindful that Scribus runs on a single CPU core, is you cpu speed 
indicator showing you the speed of the fasted or slowest core ?

Can the core speeds vary independently on your CPU ?

When scribus is busy, what does this command show you ?

     cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz


And when it isn't busy ?


Cheers, J/.
