Hi Mathew:
Thank you for this additional advice. It sounds like I should take
Jung-uk's suggestion for using cpufreq.ko and powerd.

I believe cpufreq.ko and powerd(8) will work just fine but it's not
available in FreeBSD 5.4. From 6.0-BETA (or RELENG_5), try 'kldload
cpufreq' and add 'powerd_enable="YES"' in /etc/rc.conf.
Jung-uk:
Are both of these needed? Are they a matched pair then? Maybe I
should look up in the man pages.
Thank you again for your help.

Ah -- I don't think fvcool is what you're looking for. It only works
for older AMD athlon/duron CPUs on certain motherboard chipsets. See:

Also, I'd recommend against using it on any system doing processor
intensive stuff as it can make the system less stable. It's fine for
a desktop box or lightly used machine though.
Cheers
Matthew
