Comment 12 for bug 326149

I also have this issue. Since the ondemand up_threshold is set default at 80, browsing is somewhat less responsive compared to using performance governor. I fixed this by modifying the /etc/init.d/ondemand to set the up_threshold to 20. However, this is not a permanent fix. When I switch power profiles, up_threshold value goes back to 80 when I revert to ondemand governor. Is the 80 value built into the kernel or is there a conf file we can modify to change this value permanently?

I noticed that a lot of users have different preferences with regards to the up_threshold value. Some would want the value up high and some like me want the value low. Would it be possible to have a conf file which contains the up_threshold value and could be modified by users according to their preferences? I think this would be helpful to all.
