how to reduce the power consumption from pll in cyclone iV E device?

how to reduce the power consumption from pll in cyclone iV E device? i use altctrl block to switch off the clock out,but pll is working. I am not sure whether to switch pll input from inclk to constant zero will be effective?

    The PLL lock time runs after starting the PLL,e.g. after reconnecting the input clock, it hasn't specially to do with reset.
