Clock speed drops 40% when not using AC adapter

Hi People,
I am a happy owner of a brand new FW41E/H notebook.

I noticed that my clock speed drops from 1,99 GHz to 1,20 GHz when I pull out the power supply.
This is not desirable...the laptop becomes noticable SLOW.
I want to use the pc for gigs (use with Traktor Scratch) and often there's no 230VAC available.

How can I ensure the pc works optimal, also when only powered on battery?
If it works 2 hours on battery only, i'm satisfied. The specs showed me 150 mins so that must be possible?

Thanks in advance for your comments..

Theoz

It's the way you have your power options setup in windows.
Change the settings to "max performance" and it should be the same as plugged in although you may want to dim your screen for a bit of extra battery life.
