Public bug reported:

On my laptop with this CPU:

model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2640M CPU @ 2.80GHz

I am using the ondemand governor:

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/c*/cpufreq/scaling_governor 
ondemand
ondemand
ondemand
ondemand

and the system is very slow to answer some inputs:
 - the text output pauses for several seconds while I am typing this text
 - trying to scroll a firefox window takes several seconds
 - switching tabs in firefox takes several seconds
 - ...

Setting the governor to "performance" fixes this problem.

Note that this bug does not reveal itself immediately after boot.  It
takes a suspend/resume to show up.
