Thanks again. Following V3 with your suggestion.

-----------------------8<--------------------------------------------
Instead of checking only the absolute value of CPU load_freq to increase
frequency, we detect forthcoming CPU load rise and increase frequency
earlier.
Every sampling rate, we calculate the gradient of load_freq. If it is
too steep we assume that the load most probably will go over
up_threshold in next iteration(s) and we increase frequency immediately.
New tuners are introduced:
- early_demand: to enable this functionality (disabled by default).
- grad_up_threshold: over this gradient of load we will increase
frequency immediately.
