I leave my E17 CPUfreq module configured with "Set CPU power policy" on "Automatic", "Powersaving behaviour" on "Automatic" and it does what I think you want with no issues. The difference between what you stated you want and what actually happens is that the frequency drops when ever the entire s

ondemand works based on priorities, not idliness. For example, in my debian testing, my regular desktop apps have a priority of 23, so ondemand not always rises the speed as I would like. Other example is when you go to lunch, you usually just lock your screen, but how many really lower power co
