I suspect it because we are increasing freq based on the assumption: "If increase in load from last calculation is more then threshold, then we must use high freq".. So, this rise can be false alarm multiple times and we might not see a load increase after moving to high freq and so we are running at high/max freq without any need of it. And so more power. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
