I have a problem with CPU load, when working with real-time applications, so I guess for real-time 'ondemand' will be the same like 'performance'. For other distros CPU freq scaling runs OOB, but making hard disks sleep is a PITA on Linux, hdparm doesn't work on many machines, so the hard disks are running all the time, even if I only need one of two devices. It's written that Intel can't scale each core of a CPU independently, AMDs should be better, because they are able to scale each core individually. My "AMD Athlon(tm) X2 Dual Core Processor BE-2350" is specified to have a load of 45W. Thank you, I'll take a look at lesswatts.org later. Right now I'm reflecting if I should give Steinberg 'my personal data sheet', to get the VST headers, or if I should search for a side, that makes them available, even if it might be illegal. I know there are some Linux people doing it. I guess I'll give Steinberg my 'life' and right after downloading the SDK stuff I'll 'revoke my consent' or I'll fake my birthday and telephone number ... strange people, name and address would be okay, but all the rest?!
