slow system performance after switching to battery on my laptop

[Gabriel M Dragffy]

This is exactly what I suspect too. Question is, how do I find out? How
do I clock it back up? And how to stop it getting clocked down in the
first place? So many questions and on this issue I'm at a loss.

I have also noticed that the little fan in the back has been running
full tilt for the last two days. Whereas before it would intermittently
turn on or off and really only occassionally was it on. Terrible!
