Yes, I've always had a bit of trouble understanding how these things fit 
together...

(Also not the best laptop I've had in a number of other ways)

Only stuff like:

        load 144%, current freq 3692 MHz ( 0), wanted freq 5606 MHz
        load 127%, current freq 3692 MHz ( 0), wanted freq 5606 MHz
        load 120%, current freq 3692 MHz ( 0), wanted freq 5606 MHz
        load 136%, current freq 3692 MHz ( 0), wanted freq 5606 MHz
        load 132%, current freq 3692 MHz ( 0), wanted freq 5606 MHz

But it is not entirely obvious to me that powerd actually does anything...

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
