Anybody knows of any tool for OS X that will report the current

speed in my PowerBook is reduced and, if so, by how much.
Yes there is, a command line program, built into the OS that allegedly reports it, and I can't for the life of me remember it now. However, AFAIK, neither the G4 or G3 do processor stepping down on battery power, the way Intel CPU's do.
Could it be sysctl?
sysctl hw.cpufrequency (you have to divide the answer by 1 million) gives
you proc speed, but I don't know whether it's actually measuring or just
reporting the state of a variable.
That's what I was thinking of.
