I don't know about Intel CPUs but AMD's standard Windows Cool'n'Quiet driver ignores tasks with "idle" priority. As a result it does not raise the Vcore or clock speed just for SETI@Home unless you tweak the task priority.
I think this is a good choice. This way you can safe energy and donate CPU power at the same time.
