You can try cpufreqd (to set the cpu according to the usage). http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpufreqd I also use acpi performance states... For instance on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 , 2Ghz) I have this on /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/performance : [cioby@LNX cioby]$ cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/performance state count: 2 active state: P0 states: *P0: 2000 MHz, 22000 mW, 250 uS P1: 1200 MHz, 9800 mW, 250 uS I often switch to performance state 1 even in if not running on battery. If I keep it in my lap, and do an kernel compile, I don't want my balls to get fryed :) -- Cioby - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
