The cpufreq modules are not loaded by default. But that might change some day. On my old Opteron cpu I noticed an increased response time when using the ondemand governor. On the other hand I have seen cheap notebooks which will overheat easily if you don't clock down the cpu most of the time. I think Thomas was concerned about p4-clockmod. But this isn't a real clock scaling driver anyway; so shouldn't be used with cpufreq. In short: the user has to decide what is best for them. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
