It means that your CPU is being scaled when you don't need it to be fast 
to stop it from getting it from getting to hot and make it last longer 
(eventually a CPU will die, but this lengthens its lifespan, to as long 
as 20 years, although it will not of course be useful for the entire 
space of that time). It is not a problem, when you need it to be clocked 
up, the computer wil do it automatically.
