What is CPU throttling? (Sometimes I feel like throttling my computer, but I think that's a different thing!)

Dynamic frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a technique in computer architecture whereby the frequency of a microprocessor can be automatically adjusted "on-the-fly", either to conserve power or to reduce the amount of heat generated by the chip.
