Under*volting*, not under*clocking* - reducing the CPU voltage at
given frequencies. That way you get less fan noise, less power draw
(i.e., longer battery life) and no loss in performance. The question
is whether the CPU remains reliable, and this varies greatly so the
only way to know is to try.

But yes, it's a fairly annoying and lengthy procedure.
