I'm also seeing bad interactivity and erratic performance on an Atom-based netbook here. This is especially evident with bursty loads, as caused by the Flash plugin when watching videos, for example. If I remember correctly, the former default was 80%, and this seems to work a lot better than 95, without being too aggressive the other way around.
Still, going lower than this, to about 50-60%, makes scrolling in Firefox and the simple Metacity minimize animations a lot more smooth -- the frequency ramping doesn't seem to work as well as it should in theory (according to the cpufreq developers, even 100% should work fine if CPU load measurements are exact, which they should be now). FYI, gnome-power-manager does not modify this setting anymore. -- CPU Scaling too aggressive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107545 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
