Yes, Mick, that was my first governor. I thought I'd try to see if it would behave at top speed if I set it to "performance". No luck, though. And I can easily change the governor. It swaps out to any of the installed governors with aplomb, although I have to do this manually. I can't change governors from gkrellm, for instance. If I change it manually, the new governor shows up there, but it's read-only so to speak. I don't know if the idle controller has anything to do with this but here is what my idle controller looks like: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle 08:43:14# ls -l;cat current_* total 0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 30 08:43 current_driver -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 30 08:43 current_governor_ro intel_idle menu
