Hi Peter,

Excerpts from Peter Johnson's message of Sa Feb 13 03:55:28 +0100 2010:

Attached is a patch to add CPU speed to the list of stuff made available by
i3status. I only actively tested it on Linux, but I'm reasonably confident it
Thanks for your work.

I don’t exactly know why one would want to know the speed of the CPU. You
probably already know the maximum speed and the ondemand-scheduler (which is
what everybody should use) automatically adjusts the speed so that the CPU will
use as little power as possible.

So, what exactly is the useful information you get out of your current CPU
speed?

Best regards,
Michael
