Well, I did some maintenance on a FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE the other day and it
seems to be able to detect the clockspeed. You might want to check out
how they do it:
CPU: Pentium (133.64-MHz 586-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x52c Stepping=12
Features=0x3bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,APIC>
