Information processing apparatus and method

A method of controlling a throughput of a processor in an information processing apparatus including the processor capable of adjusting processing power and a display that displays status of the processing executed by the processor, comprising:

• detecting the processing executed by the processor;
• and
• switching between a first adjustment mode and a second adjustment mode in association with predetermined processing executed without displaying execution status on the display, wherein
• the first adjustment mode sets, as a target for selection, a first selection range including a plurality of processing power classes classified according to magnitude of the processing power, and
• the second adjustment mode sets, as a target for selection, inside of a second selection range in which a first processing power class related to relatively high processing power is excluded from among the first processing power class, a second processing power class, and a third processing power class of the first selection range.
