Another comments: if the computer is on the desk and don't being used, is the CPU being used? , is there any big difference between ondemand and performance on that case?
IIRC CPU scaling helps to save the battery life on the laptop cases, but if I'm plugged to AC I would like to have my laptop working as fast as possible. Final user needs to feel their laptop faster as they want, this makes sense to me: case 1: laptop plugged (AC) = use performance (we don't need to save anything) case 2: laptop using battery as power resource = use ondemand let's ask to the users... this is not a problem for geeks...
