[TriLUG] don't go slow on batteries!

[Joseph S. Tate]

What you're looking for is the CPUFreq Governor:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt there used
to be a binary that would set it, but now it looks like you can set it
through sysfs.

However, I'd suggest, you continue to use the ondemand governor when on
batteries (should be by default).  Your battery will last a lot longer, and
the performance impact will be negligible.  The cpu freq will scale up as
your load requires it, and down when it finishes.
