title: Disable Turbo Boost on Core i7 Mac?
body: <p>Is there any way to programmatically disable Turbo Boost on a Core i7 mac running Mac OS X ? I need to be able to do this for benchmarking purposes during code optimisation etc. Failing that, any kind of utility which can disable/enable Turbo Boost, even if it requires a reboot, would be useful.</p>
  
  <p>There is a related question (not Mac-specific) on SO: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2735550/how-to-turn-off-turbo-boost-temporarily">How to turn off Turbo Boost temporarily?</a> but even for PCs it seems that there may be no way to do this programatically/on-the-fly ?</p>
