This should not be a low priority bug. It contributes to the headlines
that Ubuntu has a worse battery life than windows. Netbook users who
need battery life want to turn powersave on.

The problem is that /etc/init.d/ondemand will after 60 seconds of
booting change the frequency scaler to ondemand. This one size fits all
is terrible. It should set the frequency scaler to whatever it was set
to at last shutdown. If you want performance, it should stay on
performance. If you need battery life, it should stay on powersave.

At the moment, even if you change to powersave at login, after 60
seconds from boot, it will switch back to on demand. This is very
annoying. The simple solution is to check the frequency scaler policy at
shutdown. Save it. On boot performance should be selected until log in
when the saved policy should be reinvoked.
