Hi Daniel, I was also thinking about something like this recently but I don't have windows installed so it would be nice to first hear from someone who does whether this works or not. I'm not sure if the underclocking would stick after a reboot but if so this would be an ideal solution to this problem. If anybody has windows and can try this out it would be very helpful. I think you can just check the power usage of linux before and after doing this to see if it makes a difference.
