actually it makes sense for bugs like this:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13486

also in regard to rogue processes consuming 100%CPU (if you notice that within 
a minute, having the CPU on low power will probably have consumed much less 
energy)

but ideally I'd agree with this setting being removed
(having to execute a possibly unknown (to the user) command for this is also 
not ideal - especially if the feature has been around before)
