Powernowd: fast switch to high speed

[Wolfgang Pfeiffer <roto@gmx.net>]

Hi all

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo 
processor       : 0
cpu             : 7447A, altivec supported
clock           : 833.333000MHz
revision        : 0.5 (pvr 8003 0105)
bogomips        : 16.57
timebase        : 8320000
platform        : PowerMac
machine         : PowerBook5,8
motherboard     : PowerBook5,8 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh 
detected as     : 287 (PowerBook G4 15")
pmac flags      : 00000019
L2 cache        : 512K unified
pmac-generation : NewWorld


I removed cpufreqd (due to a, IINM, bug) and installed powernowd:

How do I force powernowd to set the frequency *very fast* to the
highest possible value if the CPU usage goes above 5% ?

Or is that impossible with powernowd?

I've played around with that tool, and so far I got it to switch to
high speed only when the system is so much loaded that it's nearly
non-responsive - and this is much too late for a change to higher
speed ...


Thanks in anticipation

Best Regards
Wolfgang
