Hi there
I suspect this is a defect - in short if I set the ondemand governor to ignore_nice_load
the CPU clocks drop to minimum (1000MHz in my case) and stay there forever, despite any actual load on the system. Obviously if there is nice load things get complicated. But even with 0% nice load and 100% user the CPUs are still at min.
I have tried playing with the other ondemand parameters with no benefit, e.g.
System is
and monitor with gkrellm & gkfreq.
In previous openSUSE versions this was OK: I run mprime as a nice process and in general am happy for my CPUs to run minimum clock speed, but I do like things to speed up when putting a bit of user load on.
Any suggestions welcome
TIA

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load

echo 20 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold
