Well, OK, but what if I need it lower?  I'm trying to understand what's
going on.

Given that I've tried to set it to 85% (which is lower than 4.0) and
that doesn't seem to have had an effect, my question is - why?

The situation is further complicated by the fact that the Mate panel CPU
monitor claims I'm mostly running at 4.4
