Disappearing 'current' part in System information Widget

M_Devil

After login to pfSense, the System information widget shows:

CPU Type Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz
Current: 2500 MHz, Max: 3101 MHz
4 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 4 core(s)

A few seconds later, it changes in

CPU Type Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz
4 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 4 core(s)

The Current: part does not come back. Is this a bug?

"Current" only shows if it's not running at max frequency.

Ok, makes sense :D

So I my case just logging in and showing widgets causes max frequency (I5-3450).

@cmb:

"Current" only shows if it's not running at max frequency.

Which I find REALLY annoying because one of my boxes runs at 1 MHz less than max most of the time… so it always shows "Current: 1992 MHz, Max: 1993 MHz"...

Idle situation (no login on GUI), putty to pfSense

CLI: sysctl -a | grep "freq:"
dev.cpu.0.freq: 1600

After GUI login (even after a while):
dev.cpu.0.freq: 3101

So it seems the GUI causes the CPU to max frequency
