As far as i understood it so far, throttling sets a top limit to the
frequency scaling. I.E. if you have a 1.7GHz Pentium M it can scale its
frequency dynamically from 600MHz to 1700MHz. Now you can also enable
throttling to reduce the maximum frequency to lets say 1200Mhz (don't
know the exact values). Hence when you do this your processor can only
scale from 600MHz to 1200MHz.

Andr=E9.
