I'm not quite sure what you mean by safety here.  Currently,
I can manually use the cpuspeed daemon of the Fedora cpuspeed
package to keep my laptop running quietly on AC power, yet
still allowing high frequency bursts when the processor is cool.
This does not seem to cause any observable problems.

Couldn't this feature also be possible via hald-addon-cpufreq
and GNOME Power Manager?
