If you're still having this throttling problem (I have also, for about 2 years now) I finally found a solution. Open up ThrottleStop, click FlVR and check "Disable and Lock Turbo Power Limits". Finally an end to the constant

Yes, it's not like I have any connection via heritage or anything either, but our Chinese friends and coworkers have been extremely kind to us. They seem mystified / embarrassed to ask about the way our country is managing.

I have a Dyson DC33 and can confirm that the exhaust blowing dust away from the vacuum is still a major problem. I end up chasing bits of pet hair around the floor with it because it blows them away faster than I can vacuum them up.
