Right, but sometimes that is not possible (or you don't want to turn off cpufreq). I guess you could have an option to NOT turn it off in the first place.

And then the option would just be to turn the printing back on. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
