- Under 7.1 there is processor 'cycling' which is in addition to Sleep and
- screen dimming. Processor Cycling kicks in after only a few seconds. A very
- graphic example of Processor Cycling is to play TETRIS and just let a block
- drop all the way from the top. Before it gets more than 1/3 down the CPU
- will slow to a crawl but still continue working. To toggle Processor
- Cycling, use the 'PowerBook' control panel and click the 'Options...'
- button. Balloon Help can offer some insight.
