Clock Throttling means at the Doze/Standby state, the
CPU clock count in a given time (not the frequency) is
reduced to the ratio specified in this parameter.
Actually, the period per CPU clock is not changed.
For example, a 66MHz CPU clock remains the same
30ns clock period when system goes into
Doze/Suspend. The chipset generates the STPCLK
(stop clock) signal periodically to prevent CPU for
accepting clock from clock generator. For full power
on, the CPU can receive 66M count in one second. If
the Slow Clock Ratio is set to 50%, the CPU will only
receive 33M clock count in one second. This will
effectively reduce CPU speed as well as CPU power.

This is a specification of ACPI and supported by
hardware. When Enabled, the soft power switch on the
front panel can be used to control power On, Suspend
and Off. If the switch is pressed less than 4 sec during
power On, the system will go into Suspend mode. If
the switch is pressed longer than 4 sec, the system will
be turned Off. The default setting is Disabled, soft
power switch is only used to control On and Off, there
is no need to press 4 sec, and there is no Suspend.
