Dave corrects me more often than I correct him, but this isn't quite right.

The speed of the IIc Plus is actually changed whenever you press control-reset.
If you booted in "Normal" mode and press control-reset for some reason, it
will switch to 4 MHz mode.  If you press control-escape-reset for some reason,
it will switch to 1 MHz ("fast") mode.

You can actually switch speeds like this without rebooting (like, from within
BASIC.SYSTEM), if you're so inclined.  I personally would reboot if I were
you because pressing control-reset at spurious times isn't all that sound an
idea.

At any rate, you don't have to power down.
