command.

.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and

\fBwmthrottle\fP is a program to throttle cpu via ACPI. It is a dockapp that is supported by X window managers such as Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, and
Enlightenment.
The top half of the app shows the 8 levels of throttling that can be selected
(0 = 100% CPU use). The bottom shows the current percentage of CPU allowed to be
used as well as a green,yellow,red indicator and graph indicator to further
indicate how much of the cpu is throttled.
