+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.
