This looks useful.  I have also been playing with a daemon that checks
the load average every minute and cranks the CPU speed up or down.

On my laptop, connecting the AC adapter causes the speed to immediately
increase to the maximum.  I have been unable to find the code that does
this, but I'd like to disable it.
