The default sampling_rate_min should probably be 0.25 seconds. If that were the case, the CPU would power up before a window drag (or similar motion) was finished, and the response would probably seem acceptably snappy.actually the sampling rate is dependent on the transition latency for the processor.
Can you explain further?
2) Make the default scaling_min_freq be somewhat larger, perhaps 670 MHz or 20% of the max clock speed. This will (of course) reduce laptop life, but I suspect that it won't make a noticeable change.you can already do that by setting /etc/default/cpufrequtils from the cpufrequtils package. cheers
Yes, you can. However, I was arguing for a change in the defaults, so that the average user would get a better performance with the default settings.
