 | 4 | 	  CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of  | 
 | 5 | 	  CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because  | 
 | 6 | 	  the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes. | 
 | 7 |  | 
 | 8 | 	  Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU | 
 | 9 | 	  clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor | 
 | 10 | 	  (see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool. |
