I personally wouldn't mind that. My general impression -- and this is just me -- is that conservative takes longer to raise the CPU frequency when there is activity. It therefore can produce a noticable performance hit. That is fine for some, but is less of a "conservative" change from previous releases of Debian. Of course, you do save more power that way, so making it easy for the user to change to conservative would be a positive thing as well. With ondemand, for instance, I can see the CPU blip up to max speed when I click on my icon to open a Konsole, when Iceweasel is rendering a web page, etc. It reacts very, very fast. Conservative doesn't seem to quite as much. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
