    As was mentioned, you can hold down the 'ESC' key when turning on
the machine to cold-boot into 1 MHz operations. To do it with a warm-
boot press Apple-Control-Reset-Esc at the same time, then release all
the keys except 'ESC'. If you did it correctly, the word "NORMAL" will 
appear at the top of the screen.

    It'll stay at 1.024 MHz until you do another warm-boot (that is
just Apple-Control-Reset), performance the built-in self-test or power 
on and off. Personally I think they should have just removed the Dvorak 
"Keyboard" switch and replaced it with a "Turbo" switch--that would have 
made a lot more sense.
