I usually set the options in /etc/cpufreqd.conf for AC connected work to

[Rule]
name=AC Rule
ac=on                    # (on/off)
profile=On Demand High
[/Rule]

Otherwise my notebook will always run with full clock speed and get
hot.
You can also adjust the rules for certain programs to adjust the clock
speed instantly.


[Rule]
name=Movie Watcher
programs=xine,mplayer,gmplayer,wine
battery_interval=0-100
acpi_temperature=0-60
cpu_interval=0-100
profile=Performance High
[/Rule]
