You might be interested in controlling Turbo Boost directly (e.g. google find this: http://tbswitcher.rugarciap.com/)

Your computer will be slower. Depending on the task that may or may not be welcome. Some video conferencing can eat all available CPU/GPU cycles and generate fan noise; this is probably a good time to manually disable Turbo Boost. Unless you want more sword fighting time, disabling during compilation tasks is probably not a great time.

Better battery life and less fan noise are benefits, though!
