| samuel_trassare@12007 | 1 CPUFreq is a Linux kernel subsystem which allows the clock speed of mobile CPUs |
| samuel_trassare@12007 | 2 (most often found in laptop computers) to be explicitly set. CPUSpeed |
| samuel_trassare@12007 | 3 dynamically controls CPUFreq, slowing down the CPU to conserve power and reduce |
| samuel_trassare@12007 | 4 heat when the system is idle, on battery power or overheating, and speeding up |
| samuel_trassare@12007 | 5 the CPU when the system is busy and more processing power is needed. Using |
| samuel_trassare@12007 | 6 CPUSpeed can significantly increase a laptop computer's battery life and |
| samuel_trassare@12007 | 7 significantly reduce the heat it generates while still allowing your system to |
| samuel_trassare@12007 | 8 perform at top speed when you need it. |
