With that I get: dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2333/31000 2000/26000 1667/22000 1333/17000 1000/13000 dev.est.0.freq_settings: 2333/31000 2000/26000 1667/22000 1333/17000 1000/13000 dev.est.1.freq_settings: 2333/31000 2000/26000 1667/22000 1333/17000 1000/13000 hopefully that's more in line with what it should be? I'd really like to be able to at least use powerd since it does seem to help with heat when the system is idle (and by extension, power consumption as well). Unless you say differently when I get up tomorrow I'll try this configuration for a little while and see how it goes.
