"Forgive me if I'm wrong, but: If you set the processor speed to the minimum won't see a decrease in performance? In other, perhaps clearer, words, is this speed setting subjective?" Well, half wrong :-) Yes, performance will decrease, but not as much as you might imagine for many tpyical applications if you enable Automatic Clock Control: "With this option, the processor speed is boosted up to its maximum for a certain period when a key is pressed or hard disk access access occurs." "Frankly, I'm not sure what the fuss is about, the thing is warranteed for 3 years. IBM should be savvy enough to make a machine that will last that long. And face it- you'll probably have a new machine by then anyway ;)" The machine may be warranteed for three years, but is your lap? We are talking too hot to touch with your bare hand here!
