However powerd doesn't automatically reduce the freq. I suppose this is due to the CPU-Load being incorrectly detected: > sysctl -a | grep usage dev.cpu.0.cx_usage: 100.00% last 500us dev.cpu.1.cx_usage: 100.00% last 500us dev.cpu.2.cx_usage: 100.00% last 500us dev.cpu.3.cx_usage: 100.00% last 500us (these are always 100% although system is mostly idle) I would really like to be able to reduce freq, for energy, noise/heat and long--livety reasons! Thank you very much! >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
