What's the point of having an option that nobody knows what it does? What's the
purpose?

Is good enough having a technology that does something, if people cannot make
use of it?

Also those profiles actually have specific definitions.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon/-/blob/main/src/ppd-profile.h
 * @PPD_PROFILE_POWER_SAVER: "power-saver", the battery saving profile
 * @PPD_PROFILE_BALANCED: balanced, the default profile
 * @PPD_PROFILE_PERFORMANCE: as fast as possible, a profile that does
 *   not care about noise or battery consumption, only available
 *   on some systems.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling#Scaling_governors:
- performance: Run the CPU at the maximum frequency, obtained from
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq.
- powersave: Run the CPU at the minimum frequency, obtained from
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq.
- userspace: Run the CPU at user specified frequencies, configurable via
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed.
- ondemand: Scales the frequency dynamically according to current load. Jumps
to the highest frequency and then possibly back off as the idle time increases.
- conservative: Scales the frequency dynamically according to current load.
Scales the frequency more gradually than ondemand.
- schedutil: Scheduler-driven CPU frequency selection.

Hence my suggested definitions:

With performance:
- Unchanged
- Limited to save power
- Boosted when needed
- Always at maximum

Also it doesn't really matter if the definition is 100% accurate for all
hardware, more than if it is explicit on its intention.
