does anybody know, where/how are thresholds managed, when and how much
processor speed should be stepped up when they are busy enough? is there
any changes made between 8.10 and 9.04?

all the time i was running boinc client under 8.10 and cpu were set to
ondemand and no matter what other processes i ran, boinc had no effect
to processor speed changes. it just used nice-ly, whatever time
processor was idle. only us/sy -processes affected processor speed
changes in ondemand mode.

under 9.04, in the other hand, one can stop all the other programs and
leave only boinc running and processor speed will jump up and down way
too often, staying on top speed too much and heating up the machine.
stopping boinc and running my ordinary set of user-programs, speed
changes behave normally, stepping up only when i load some website in
firefox etc. even tweaking boinc to use only 70% of processor time (used
to be set to default setting under 8.10, which was probably 100%) will
not restore the usual relaxed way this machine/os/programs used to run.
