I can't find a reference or link but IIRC the "short time" a processor stalls when changing frequency is these days in the usec range. Anyway, discard all theory. It works empirically: There are no problems here with JACK at 32*2 fpp @48kHz with the ondemand govenour on both Intel Core Duo, Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel i5 CPUs (yes, that is going from nought to 16 jconvolvers causing CPU and JACK load to jump). It really depends on your system (CPU, mainboard, BIOS settings) but the ondemand gov works/ed fine on the Indamixx-1 release (Atom CPU, 128x2 @ 44.1kHz default) and many others are using it successfully: see test-reports on JACK CPU-freq scaling on the JACK-devel list in December 2010 and the "Balance between performance and noise" recently thread on this list. 2c, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
