Therefore, rephrasing the commit message should suffice. I can certainly do that, but you probably missed that small little number at the end of my benchmark instructions. That tells you that I indeed measured a 49.8 % performance uplift with the linpack benchmark. And I would expect anything similarly CPU bound to react in the same fashion. Please try it yourself, you don't even need this particular piece of hardware, just some machine with working cpufreq. Cheers, Andre
