Thanks for all of discussion on this threads. :)
I think we can bear a little power efficient lose when want powersaving.

For second question, the performance increase come from cpu boost
feature, the hardware feature diffined, if there are some cores idle in
cpu socket, other core has more chance to boost on higher frequency. The
task packing try to pack tasks so that left more idle cores.

The difficult to merge this feature into current performance is that
current balance policy is trying to give as much as possible cpu
resources to each of task. that just conflict with the cpu boost condition.
