<para>On some newer systems, the motherboard is capable of contolling
the system clock speed. This can be controlled with a command such as
<command>powerprofilesctl</command>. This is not available in LFS, but
may be available on the host distro. After LFS is complete, it can be
added to a system with the procedures at the
<ulink url='&blfs-book;sysutils/power-profiles-daemon.html'>
BLFS power-profiles-daemon</ulink> page.
Before measuring the build time of any package it is advisable to use a
system power profile set for maximum performance (and maximum power
consumption).
Otherwise the measured SBU value may be inaccurate because the
system may react differently when building <xref linkend='ch-tools-binutils-pass1'/>
or other packages.
Be aware that a significant inaccuracy can still show up even if the same
profile is used for both packages because the system may respond slower if
the system is idle when starting the build procedure. Setting the power
profile to <quote>performance</quote> will minimize this problem. And
obviously doing so will also make the system build LFS faster.</para>
