It's a very common process to reduce heat and power consumption. For instance all the previous iphone and ipod touch underclocked their processor and the new HTC incredible underclocks. Just about every embedded device underclocks as a higher speed processor often runs more efficiently at a lower speed than a processor designed to run at that speed.

If the iPad sometimes runs at 1 GHz, just not when executing JavaScript, that still sounds like a mistake given the complaints in this thread about sluggish performance. (Disclaimer: I do power management for a living but I haven't used an iPad.)
