cpu_speed=<speed> integer option does not change CPU speed (cpu_throttle does).

Hello,
The cpu_speed option when used with a numeric value, sets the cpu speed at a much lower speed than the "real" setting regardless of the entered value.
The only way to set the cpu speed seems to be possible by using the undocumented "cpu_throttle" option which surprisingly works in conjunction with "cpu_speed=real" (not integer).
Here are some sysinfo screenshots:
cpu_speed=real / cpu_throttle=5000.0
cpu_speed=real / cpu_throttle=2000.0
"cpu_throttle" setting even adjusts the cpu speed when an integer "cpu_speed" value is entered but the changes in "cpu_speed" value do nothing.
cpu_speed=4/ cpu_throttle=5000.0
cpu_speed=16/ cpu_throttle=5000.0
I'm also providing a screenshot for "cpu_speed=max" for reference (without throttling).
I've accidentally discovered the "cpu_throttle" option while looking at my winuae configuration files and was surprised when it worked with p-uae. I was having a hard time setting my cpu speed without this option. Please add it to the documentation for other people.
Best.
