Yes, it shows:

I saw that someone else on the list asked about "Performance State: 
[100%]".   Does that mean the CPU is running at 100%?  

If there's a way to slow the processor down, I don't know how to do it. 
 I guess I'd have to have acpid do something but I don't know what.

I'm still learning all that's ACPI so excuse me if I have silly questions.

Thanks,
