configs: Switch default cpufreq governor to ondemand #6458
Conversation
Historically we have booted in powersave mode, and switched to ondemand with the /etc/init.d/raspi-config scipt if the shift key is not pressed. This was intended to protect users from an unsafe overclock, or inadequate power supply. But there's little evedence that this option is benefitting anyone, and we can boot faster without it.

Start again... Setting the various governors as being the default implies a requirement for that governor, therefore no longer setting POWERSAVE as the default means that POWERSAVE is not automatically enabled. ONDEMAND is slightly different because it isn't available on all platforms, so asking for ONDEMAND to the default also enables PERFORMANCE as a fallback. |
