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.
