// This class is used to listen for speed-limit changes and route new values to
// PowerMonitorSource when they are changed. The speed-limit value represents
// how well the CPU is running, where 100 means that it is running at normal
// speed (not throttled) and 0 means that it is so severely throttled (thermal
// throttling, power throttling, or other) that it is not running at all.
// A value under 70 indicates noticeable throttling, and a value under 40
// indicates severe throttling. Well designed systems with sufficient power
// and cooling should be able to run with no throttling, but some systems
// (laptops in particular) may be throttled, especially in hot environments or
// when running on battery. On a well designed computer this metric should stay
// at 100, only going lower if there is insufficient cooling or power.
