[Bug 122993] Re: ondemand governor does not use maximum frequency under load

[marcus]

We need an option in gnome-power-manager to enable the performance
governor in Ubuntu 8.10. The ondemand governor does not work properly
for everyone. On my Thinkpad T42, flash video playback at fullscreen is
choppy. The cpu will go to max, but not fast enough to prevent choppy
playback. The T42 runs at 600 MHz most times, so the overall performance
is sluggish at best. I want to run at full speed when plugged into the
ac. Can someone explain to me why having this option is such a big
problem. Is there some secret plan to save energy or something? Please
let me know if anyone has found a solution to this problem. I don't want
to go back to Gentoo. Please help!!
