Trying to think as a user for a minute, I find it counterintuitive to
think that my cpu will run at a lower speed unless I pump in some magic
smoke (that I may or may not know exists). I agree that power saving is
a very important feature, and I think Robert's idea is a good one, but
_until it actually exists_, full speed is the appropriate default.
