cpudyn
cpudyn controls the speed in Intel SpeedStep, Pentium 4 Mobile, and PowerPC machines with the cpufreq driver compiled in the kernel. It saves battery, lowers temperature, and can put the computer disks in standby mode if a given period has passed without any I/O operation. It works well even with journaled file systems such as Ext3, XFS, or ReiserFS.
