Comment 46 for bug 132271

I think problem is really important. In windows you can easily fix bad
scaling behaviour by using special software. This is not the case in
linux. You have to have patched kernel. I thing ubuntu should fix this
problem. I'm not sure if this is problem just for few notebooks. Many
people could simply miss this bug, not everyone looks at frequency
scaling applet for example. I remember, that for very long time many
distors supported 2.4 and 2.6 kernels due to changes in new line of
kernels. Maybe ubuntu could do the same - keep kernels below 2.6.20
for people with old notebooks?
