The last outstanding open task for sysvinit/xenial is also invalid, to my understanding. Both /etc/init.d/ondemand in <= xenial and /lib/systemd/set-cpufreq in >= bionic implement the intended default policy of interactive/ondemand/powersave, not performance. ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu

@dsmythies, sorry, missed your question. We're actually seeing performance issues/load on a couple of our Ubuntu Archive servers (archive.ubuntu.com). They're high traffic servers with 10GbE NICs with just apache2 serving .deb packages from disk. We've recently upgraded a few to 4.11.0-14-generic

On my Dell XPS 13 (i7-6500U) the only governors available are performance and powersave. Ubuntu 16.04 seems to set this always to 'powersave' for me. This causes the CPU to clock down to 300-400Mhz when idle. Unfortunately it's not clocking up again when under load sometimes. Setting the governor

What has been done here is incorrect. The old "ondemand" script was modified so that if the intel_pstate driver was being used, and therefore "ondemand" did not exist, it would fall through to setting the "powersave" governor (refer to bug #1314643). Note that "powersave" with the intel_pstate
