On my computers, running Gnome, there's a taskbar applet that lets me
monitor CPU speed, it also lets me deliberately pick a particular speed
to run at.  I can make those adjustments as the user I'm logged in as,
not needing to be root.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
