cpu frequency scaling

[Gerhard Lang]

Setting this theme into a focus of interest was intended. I'm pleased
for publishing something useful :-)
Working with wine/wineasio/vsti, synthesizers, heavy load effects, multi
track ardour etc. we were lost without getting cpufrequency  in real
time to highest values.
I prefered userspace numeric entries, but think setting to "performance"
will do too. I always forget this after booting into -rt kernel,
starting audio work  and then I'm remembered by lots of xruns or jackd
crashes.
I'm still testing the manipulation of 'ondemand' by lowering
up_threshold per editing rc.local.
It seems to work fine.
On my notebook (intel dualcore) I had to modify:
'(sleep 2 && echo 50 >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold) &'
as recommended in the archwiki link.
set X to 0,1,2,... for each cpu core a new line if they are not linked
as in my old amd system.
Hope developers read this, modify defaults, edit howtos ... if I just
were younger and had more time...
I'm afraid many new ubuntustudio testers who got their hardware running
after learning how to set access rights and priorities resignate because
of poor performance which could be optimized by a little tuning like this.
