Processor boost

This script can help you easily enable or disable processor turbo boost option. When you don't need extra processing power you can turn it off, and make your fans spin slower, decreasing loudness of the device.

# Power Scheme GUID: 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c (High performance)
# Power Scheme GUID: a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a (Power saver)

$GUID  =  "381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e"

Depending on what power plan option you are currently running, you have to set GUID variable to match your settings.
