Full of it.

Well, if it's a laptop (you didn't say) and if it's not on AC power and IF it has the advanced power-management turned on (usually turned off) and IF the battery is so old and almost-dead that it registers to the computer as almost completely discharged, the computer might ramp down the CPU speed.

But I think he's full of it.
