Tom, I believe that the clock speed is only decreased when there is a failure of the MRU and the MCM's are being cooled by air only. As long as the refigeration units are working, there will be no slow down.

I suppose we ought to now tell our customers that before they start the benchmarks, chill down the machine room more than usual so that we can run faster! Or maybe, we can reduce your CPU without any new software at all: just chill down your machine room some more! I wonder if this is common knowledge at most large data centers around the country???
