Hi there Konstantin and Fionn.

In my country there is a saying that goes "World is beautiful since it's 
varied" :)

I second Fionn analytical view even though mine was only a "feeling".

BTW I use powernowd exactly for the OPPOSITE reasons you state. Under AC 
I would have the CPU go always full speed. It is only on batteries I 
want frequency scaling to save some battery life. My experience is that 
the battery life is very good and btw the CPU is almost always at 600MHz.

Now that I have swithced to KDE I cannot find a substitute for the 
"applet" I had in gnome showing the CPU frequency.

Take care,
Bob
