There's a Meter in Plasma, which probably fits best. On the other hand, I'm 
not so convinced we really want the CPU frequency displayed, it's quite 
technical, it's only an indication of the performance level, and it also 
doesn't directly map to the power profile.

The reasons why it might be cool:
- check if the CPU really clocks down
- it's kind of cool for geeks

... this makes me think it has no place in a general purpose application like 
the one I envision for the battery applet.

What do others think?
