I believe that this requires the 2.5 series sysfs interface to the
cpufreq code. OTOH, this or the 'speedfreq' package give performance on
demand, based on CPU load.

Yes. I tried it, but was unsatisfied: I want to have performance when
the systems needs it, not when I happen to be running a particular
program. For example, my mail reader *occasionally* needs a lot of CPU,
but is idle 99% of the time.

cpufreqd cannot help with this situation.
