Public bug reported:

I have noticed slow performance after resuming from STR on battery.

I can not trigger this always, but it seems to be related to suspending
and resuming while on battery.

The CPU scaling governors look like this then:

% cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
powersave
performance
performance
performance

% cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_driver 
intel_pstate
intel_pstate
intel_pstate
intel_pstate

% cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
3200000
3200000
3200000
3200000

When watching the current CPU frequencies, it can be seen that they
don't go above 800000 ('watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo').

I cannot see why they are limited to 800000.

It looks like https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61241, but
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct is at 100.

Just writing the same setting for cpu0 again fixes it, and all CPUs will
be scaled above 800MHz again:

% echo powersave | sudo tee
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
