This is a matter of convention. Preserving the uppercase characters in
acronyms when MixedCase names are used, generally leads to more
inconsistency and confusion than it solves.. In some enviroments it
might even have to be cpuSpeed, depending on how it was used.

If done consistently, squashing acronyms this way tends to provide the
cleanest overall presentation (and being consistent at least also
happens to enhance parser-friendliness).

"BIOSentry" seems to be the offending one here (but I haven't looked at
where or how it is used, so I might be wrong).
