--- Comment #5 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
As I have been saying, what "performance" actually does will depend on the
firmware. Maybe for you it changes the CPU governor and fan speed in a way that
makes no difference. For someone else, it will do a different thing. We simply
cannot describe in any more detail to the user what it will do, because we
don't know, and we can't get that information from the firmware.

The fact that performance mode makes no difference for you or others definitely
sounds like an issue with the way the vendor of your system has has chosen to
implement performance mode. Alas, that doesn't come from KDE, again it comes
from the vendor. That vendor may not care about Linux support at all and may be
a black hole if contacted about it. And that would suck. But it would also be
something one has to expect when one installs a Linux-based OS on a machine
originally intended for Windows. If on the other hand, your vendor is a FOSS
hardware company like Tuxedo, Slimbook, or KFocus, hopefully they will be more
responsive and can actually fix the bug.

But I'm afraid there is nothing more we can do in KDE, sorry.
