I'm on a laptop with an Intel CPU, and speedstep works to push the CPU up a lot when needed, however I can't help feeling that it seems very eager to raise the CPU speed to the top whack, when all I've got open is Firefox and Thunderbird, not doing anything much.
When I watch the speed using "kstat -m cpu_info -s current_clock_Hz" it seems to cycle through current_clock_Hz = 2001000000 to current_clock_Hz = 800000000 over a 20 second period, then it suddenly shoots back up to 2001000000 and goes through the same cycle again. when I run prstat at the same time, firefox jumps to 1.2% of the CPU at about the same point in time, but I wouldn't have thought that that would justify a sudden ramp in CPU speed. in /etc/power.conf I currently have: device-dependency-property removable-media /dev/fb autopm default autoS3 default cpu-threshold 1s autoshutdown 30 9:00 9:00 noshutdown cpupm enable poll-mode cpu_deep_idle enable loadaverage 0.07 any suggestions on how to tweak so that my knees don't get so hot?
