Yes, I've always had a bit of trouble understanding how these things fit
together...

Only stuff like:
load 144%, current freq 3692 MHz ( 0), wanted freq 5606 MHz
load 127%, current freq 3692 MHz ( 0), wanted freq 5606 MHz
load 120%, current freq 3692 MHz ( 0), wanted freq 5606 MHz
load 136%, current freq 3692 MHz ( 0), wanted freq 5606 MHz
load 132%, current freq 3692 MHz ( 0), wanted freq 5606 MHz
But it is not entirely obvious to me that powerd actually does anything...
