GNOME Power Manager can control CPU speed with policy set in the
session, usually saving power more aggressively than cpuspeed. It also
has the benefit of using a HAL addon rather than a system service, which
is only loaded if the machine is frequency scale supported.

So really, I think the system daemon can be stopped by default, and
leave it there if some admin wants to install it on a big server.
