10.5: Install a Processor System Preferences panel

I guess its just good for development, because on intel core duo machines, it does not save power at all when you disable one core. The cpu is designed to run much more efficiently with 2 cores active.

This may be different when it comes to G5. but the dual core machines its pointless to disable one core.
