That would be some tough things to measure.

How much can you slow down a cpu anyway? Can you slow it to 1/10th its clock speed? I would think the best way to measure things like this is to slow down the overall system speed as much as possible.

Yeah you can generally underclock a modern intel or amd chip down to 400MHz, but of course other bottlenecks (storage, RAM, networking) will be massively out of proportion
