Public bug reported: In 8.04 by default the CPU frequency scaling was enabled, so my Core2Duo would go down to 1.6 GHz when I wasn't using it. In 8.10 the "Performance" governor is selected and the CPU is stuck at 2.4 GHz. Even if I manually switch to the "OnDemand" governor, the setting isn't ret

I'm simply puzzled by the lack of attention to this bug. One of the fundamental features of the OS is unusable and nobody cares. To direct some attention, I'm offering a $100 bounty, payable through paypal to anyone willing to fix this (I can also escrow the money to an intermediary if necessary).

I did find a workaround: remounting the errant device in sync mode solves the issue completely. The write speed is still a bit slower than on windows (around 700kB/s instead of 1500), but not as slow as USB 1.1. The magic incantation: sudo mount -o remount,sync /dev/sdh1 -- ehci_hcd module cause
