All I need sometimes is to turn the page, I believe it's possible even with less powerful CPU. maybe you can force normal mode (1000mhz to automatically turn ON when people are using the Store App, or something that really need more power).
That would need the CPU and other hardware to support this. I have no idea whether it does. But, it's probably pointless. Unless there is a background task happening, such as a sync, the CPU is inactive while you are reading a page. When you tap the screen, it starts up, renders the next page or whatever is needed, updates the screen and then goes back to sleep. Using any sort of economy mode while doing the actual work is probably not going to help enough to be worth it.

And as MGlitch said, this is not an official Kobo support forum. Kobo people do read it, but not in any official manner. And they are more likely to fix a problem reported directly to them than one they noticed here. But, if you do report a problem, being able to point to a thread or posts here is handy.
