7 CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of
8 CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because
9 the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
10
11 Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU
12 clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor
13 (see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool.

148 'ondemand' - This driver adds a dynamic cpufreq policy governor.
149 The governor does a periodic polling and

153 transitions).

166 help
167 'conservative' - this driver is rather similar to the 'ondemand'
168 governor both in its source code and its purpose, the difference is
169 its optimisation for better suitability in a battery powered
170 environment. The frequency is gracefully increased and decreased
171 rather than jumping to 100% when speed is required.
172
173 If you have a desktop machine then you should really be considering
174 the 'ondemand' governor instead, however if you are using a laptop,
175 PDA or even an AMD64 based computer (due to the unacceptable
176 step-by-step latency issues between the minimum and maximum frequency
177 transitions in the CPU) you will probably want to use this governor.
