Hi all, There used to be a -C switch for apm/apmd for "cool" mode, where the automatic performance adjustment mode would throttle down CPU frequency regardless of AC power status.
Currently auto mode goes to highest frequency (+turbo) while on AC power, this is good when connected to mains at room temperature, but not so great in hotter climates and/or while connected to a power bank. Is there any appetite to perhaps introduce a new hw.perfpolicy=battery or similar to retain the same mode as auto with no AC power? Looking at sys/kern/sched_bsd.c this should be a fairly trivial change. Any thoughts? Thanks, PT
