Disabled BD_PROCHOT for all CPUs

Should resolve issue #17

[bebound]

I'm using a MacBook Pro 2014 with a dead battery, running Big Sur. The laptop is extremely slow.

pmset -g thermlog

CPU_Scheduler_Limit 	= 40
CPU_Available_CPUs 	= 8
CPU_Speed_Limit 	= 21

TurboMac prevents kernel_task from taking CPU time successfully. But the CPU is still limited to 800MHZ.
I suppose that's the fix for this problem.

I attempted to compile a new kext using Product->Build in Xcode and installed it with the same installation script. However, my Mac won't boot into the OS.
Am I missing an additional step in the build process?

As far as I remember there were no additional build steps. Could you try running kextlog show | grep TurboMac and posting the results? Also please upload the kext you've built, as I don't have an Intel Mac anymore to build it myself.

Here is the kext. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10mZv83wkM7Pq8CcopEE3UvKFxJrVhwUU?usp=sharing
However, I'm unable to test it because I can't boot into the OS after installation. (I have to reinstall the OS to fix it...)

Thanks for all the hard work.
This is what fixed it for me.

I have an iMac 2011 27 inch with intel i7 3.4ghz - it was throttled to 46%

When i first executed TurboMac it didn't work. - Uninstalled it.
I changed TurboMac.cpp file as you described and built a new kext in xcode.
I replaced my newly made kext file with the original file in the downloaded TurboMac folder.
Then ran the program again - restarted and it worked.

This is the Kext file that I made and is working for me.
Due to google restriction I had to make it .zip to be able to upload it.
Unzip it - replace it with the original kext file in the TurboMac folder you downloaded and run the program.
I hope it helps.
