 From /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/cpufreq/scaling_driver I get that
the current p-state driver is called "intel_pstate". David, you
mention that the firmware governors are not very efficient, do you
suggest replacing the intel_pstate driver with a different driver?

I will need to look and see why changing to performance isn't working
correctly.

To get the behavior of the performance governor you can use

   echo 100 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct

This will force intel_pstate to select the highest P state and
leave it there.

Turbostat is useful for collecting frequency (P state) and idle (C state)
information.
