I've been using Ubuntu on a C600 (with a 1Ghz coppermine processor) since 6.06, and can confirm that the 1s pauses when changing speed were present right up to 7.10. For versions up to 7.10, the default governor was userspace, but now in 8.04 it's set to performance. I'm asuming that what actually happens is that an attempt is made to set it to ondemand, which fails, and it falls back to performance.

I'd love to see this issue resolved, as I know (when I used to run Windows XP) that the machine is capable of changing speed without these annoying freezes, and am happy to provide whatever assistance I can to assist. That said, I realise that these machines are getting old now, and that it's likely that this will never get worked on :(
