You'll also find that your system runs hotter and uses more electricity.

It's bad advice anyway.  You don't need to disable your power saving 
features to demonstrate that the system works normally at its full rated 
speed.  Add the "cpu frequency scaling monitor" to your GNOME panel and 
you'll have the option to set your CPU to one of its frequency steps or 
to select one of the available dynamic frequency settings available in 
the kernel.  No reboot is required!
