Don't know if this has any bearing on your decision, but from the
powernowd maintainer/author site [0].

"Took me long enough, but this is the final release of powernowd. The
ondemand kernel governor seems to be the wave of the future, and "good
enough for me". I do still use it on older kernels, and it's been rock
steady for years. v1.00 is just a couple of small cleanups, and
running it through valgrind to clean a couple of pedantic memory
issues. PowerNowd does everything it set out to do, and is small,
efficient, and complete. Barring any brown-paper-bag style bugs, this
will be the final release."

Cheers,
Al.
