I know about RC circuits, about the time constant, about exponential 
decay and all that. What I don't know is how the RC values actually 
yield a specific processor speed. I just need an equation, something like:

    Processor Speed = 7.56 * Time Constant

And then my next question would be what capacitor value I should use, 
given that I can have a really small one with a really big resistance, 
or a really big one with a really small resistance.
