The release notes for 5.7 included under the assorted improvements this line item:
"Frequency scaling has been moved from apmd(8) to the kernel with an improved algorithm." Does this mean my CPU's frequency is being scaled automatically? Is there any reason to run apud -A for example? I'm a little confused because running apm with near idle CPU load always shows: Performance adjustment mode: manual (<<my CPU max freq>> MHz) When I do run apmd -A however, it does appear to scale the frequency correctly: Performance adjustment mode: auto (<<my CPU min freq>> MHz) What's going on here?
