Hmm.  Is the userspace daemon a resource hog?  I left mine that way
because it was the default and it scaled nicely for me so I never
messed with it.  Maybe I'll try one of the other governors and see if I
notice a difference.



Never tried CPU hotplugging.  I like powernowd because everything
happens without me messing with it.  Until it starts turning off my
cores invisibly, I probably won't be doing it myself.  Getting lazy in
my old age.  But it sounds neat so I'll give it a shot this weekend for
testing's sake.
