When performing some CPU intensive tasks on my Powerbook, I like to keep the processor setting on high, but afteward like to switch back to automatic or else I find the fan powers up more frequently. Going into System Preferences, choosing Energy Saver, clicking on Options, and then selecting the processor performance is a bit of a cumbersome process. This menulet lets me switch processor settings with two quick clicks. I also get to see what current the processor setting is with a quick glance to the menu bar. Very nice!
Fabulous app! Within an hour of installing Quicksilver, it had already become a natural part of my workflow. For people who love to keep their hands on their keyboard, I haven't yet come across a more effective way to switch apps, open documents, load webpages, retrieve addresses, and perform countless other tasks offered by the ever-growing collection of plugins. Why wait for Spotlight in Tiger, when a potentially more powerful and robust tool already exists for Panther?
