Agree with that...
scaling UP is done AFTER the workload requires it... I think we are
currently at the state of the art... but I agree with you in having full
speed all the time...
First thing I strip out in the kernel cfg is the frequency scaling
support :D

I know I personally feel better about having my server cores running full
bore instead of trying to dynamically scale themselves. For my gameservers
and database servers, I want full power all the time, power consumption can
sit down and be quiet. Until chipmakers introduce processors with
precognitive abilities, I would rather take the hit on the power bill than
have performance or customer experience suffer.
This is why I am in IT and not financial.

disabled?
Yeah, the name sounds "cool" :P
but the question is: turbo mode can be enabled ONLY if you enable the intel
enhanced speed step... normaly speedstep (and frequency scaling in
general) ain't very good for servers environment... isn't it?

I've got turbo mode enabled on my Xeon X3450 box. I don't see why not?
It's so fancy! :-D

What are your feelings about TURBO mode when running a dedicated
server focusing on linux steam games hosting?
Personally I think that in theory it should be good to have it
enabled (can give an extra juice on certain cores if others in
idle)... but what about thinks like fps stability and tickrate?
Does the constant frequency fluctuation is giving you any trouble?
