.... spun down. Varying the clock speed is important because the CPU can consume a large amount of power. Reducing its clock speed when there is no work to be done can significantly reduce the amount of power consumed. In fact, many commercial systems already incorporate Advanced Power Management [6] to take advantage of such savings. As a result, it is reasonable to expect that on most systems the CPU will be slowed down when idle.
