One difference is it sets a range based on a usage algorithm while solene’s patch seems to setperf 100 or zero based on <1/3 idle with a 2 cycle (400ms) backoff.
My serperf seems to be at a consistent zero in my idle tests which makes me think the patch may not help my idle tests much, but may help actual usage. > On idle this laptop has on 400 MHz, and provided patch decrease > responsibility of system when it runs on battery, but allows to win some > time on it.
