I've found out the cpu frequency scaling bug I mentioned in my comment is not a
bug (well, not a linux bug): it's a macbook "hardware feature" (or flaw?: I
can't understand why it's set up this way) to lock the 2 cpu cores to minimum
speed (1.60ghz) if the battery is not present, as in my case (I removed it
since I mostly use the laptop as a desktop and wanted to preserve it).
With the battery mounted, the frequency scaling behaves normally.
