+.BI "Option \*qForceLowPowerMode\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+Enable a static low power mode.  This can help reduce heat and increase
battery
+life by reducing power usage at the expense of performance. The default is
+.B off.

Something more concise that explains what it does instead of what can
be achieved by setting it might be better. It essentially enables
statically setting the GPU engine clock.

+.TP
+.BI "Option \*qLowPowerModeEngineClock\*q \*q" integer \*q
+LowPowerModeEngineClock controls what the clock is set to, in Hz.
+If unset, (default_engine_clock / 2) is used

This is only effective when ForceLowPowerMode is turned on; the
relationship should be made clear. Also redundant to repeat the option
name.


I really should have documented these myself, but I'm all for other
people doing the work. :)
