we will be changing the built-in 'ondemand' systemd service (set-cpufreq
script, technically) to allow end-user configuration instead of using
only its hardcoded values. So if you want to use the 'performance'
governor you will be able to configure it to do so. See bug 1806012

Bug description:
Hi,
With the new Ubuntu archive servers, we saw constantly high load and
after some tinkering, we found that it was mostly CPUs being woken up
to see if they should enter idle states. Changing the CPU frequency
scaling governor to "performance" saw a considerable drop.
