Mandriva By Default Scales Processor

[tdrusk]

I have kind of a wimpy processor. I spent a lot of time wondering why Mandriva was so much slower than my other distrubutions. I finally looked around in the power management and realized that my processor was set at Dynamic and not Performance. I clicked that and things have gotten better. I wonder why they did this? Is it because I am on a laptop?

Yes, that's basically it. Although I believe it's supposed to go to Performance when you're plugged into the power (rather than running on battery). Did it not?

It did not. Oh well. As long as that's what it is supposed to do.
