I sorted it -- thanks! It turned out to be pretty obscure; my tty
setting for the receiving end of the serial console was set to echo.
So when the machine booted, it was echoing lots of characters into the
Fedora 7 init, which would prompt for the starting of cpuspeed
initscript. Turning off echo for the tty was what triggered the
slowness; removing cpuspeed from the runlevel entirely solved the
problem.

Don't know why cpuspeed would select a governor which runs the CPU at
a constant 300 MHz, though.
