I think leaving it at "ondemand" is the solution. It will switch to full
performance when the system is busy, so users will get the performance
they expect from their hardware. Anyone who actually wants to change it
will already know what cpu scaling is and won't be scared of gconf, surely?

my laptop is a 1.2ghz pentium m, so it's hardly the fastest thing in the
world, but I don't think there would be any benefit to not using
ondemand. It's not going to make the thing noticeably faster.
Can you demonstrate otherwise?
