I can see the value in this sort of thing, as well, when power or heat constraints exist.
Which is good for me since my laptop has bad heat dissipation. But this implementation is pretty bad. I've noticed that the idle injection doesn't stop for me until the process that caused it is killed. So if it starts up while playing a video on youtube, it won't stop injecting until I kill plugin container, even if the temps go below 60C. So that's truly annoying.
Also, my high temp threshold seems to be around 70C, which I feel is much too low. Is there any way to adjust that parameter, for future reference? I will likely just disable powerclamp until it works better on my machine.
