But as I said in the post, I don't remember if the applet was there or not. Anyway, I think this feature belongs to Gnome, not to Ubuntu, but it's pretty useful when you are looking to maximize your battery life or to obtain that extra juice when you are using the AC adaptor, of course only when you use a laptop. cpufreq is used by Linux for a long time.

It might not have been front-ended with a panel applet, I don't remember.
