Initial research showed that #OpenBSD _should_ automatically support the boost speeds in my old i7, especially when `sysctl hw.cpuspeed` shows `2201` instead of just `2200` (MHz). Quick exploration in `sysctl` revealed that `hw.cpu<N>.frequency` shows the current frequency (Hz) for each online CPU/core.
A little scripting & monitoring later and I found that single cores of my CPU do regularly boost up to 3.2GHz for short periods! [3/n]
