  I don't understand why linux would modify the frequency/timings of cpu and
memory, and even if it did, why it would have to modify BIOS to do that.
(What good would it do to modify BIOS anyways? It would have to re-boot in
order for the changes to become effective. BIOS is not something which is
constantly running in the background. It just sets up the hardware and starts
the OS and that's it.)
