Yes ;-)

You could try the userspace governor along with one of the userspace
daemons like powernowd or cpufreqd. If you know when you want full speed
or long battery life and don't mind a bit of manual work, just write to
scaling_setspeed or use one of the frontends like gtk-cpuspeedy or
gkrellm-cpufreq.
