This means that in the absence of a power limit between 27.25 W and 27.66 W it's better to use the kernel with the patchset applied for that particular workload from the performance and energy usage perspective. Good, hopefully that's going to be confirmed on other systems and/or with other workloads. :-) Thanks, Rafael -- I speak only for myself. Rafael J.
