There's a big difference in terms of heat. Running my laptop on performance shoots the temperature up to 80c and higher whereas ondemand keeps it 45-80 (80 when ondemand decides it needs to go full throttle). Keeping in on performance heats up the laptop to a point where its uncomfortable to rest the palms on it. I most certainly do not want to see the kernel selecting performance as the default choice. Havent tested with battery but I suspect, the battery will run out faster when its on performance as opposed to ondemand if not for anything else, to power the cooling fans.On Tue, 2011-06-14 at 16:10 +0000, Camaleón wrote: [snip] Ok, perhaps you don't have the tools to measure the load, so I won't ask you to do it, but ... Have you ever compared temperature and battery life when switching between ondemand and performance? How much is the difference on your machine?
