Have you tried playing around with the power saving options attached
to the battery widget? I've never been convinced that it's a good
place for them, but as long as they are available I don't suppose it
matters where, and there is a sort of logic, in that battery powered
devices are more power-sensitive.
Yeah, that was the first place I looked.
The only things one can adjust there are actions performed when buttons pressed/lid closed and the screen brightness. There does not seem to be an easy to to configure CPU levels.
There is, however, an option to run a script. So supposedly someone could write a script that will limit the CPU levels, but that's a little beyond me.
