Thanks again Craig!

cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors:
No such file or directory

But I distinctly remember several "power performance " options being
listed in the BIOS. It is funny that the governors aren't listed. I am
not sure how I can fix this.

On my older AMD Barcelonas I am used to setting the governor to
"performance" and that way it then does not drop its frequency ever.
