there might be three reasons:
1) less power consumed (notebooks, PDA's)
2) less heat from CPU
3) (cross platform) scheduling of low priority tasks (e.g. all my
background tasks are already running with lowest priority since I do not
want them to influence my desktop in any way, but still I want some of them to be
of higher priority)

generally, modern OS'es do not provide any ways to schedule tasks with
such constrains, which makes the question perfectly legitimate
