Thanks a lot for the test results. Was this tried with this patch alone or
the whole series applied?

Have you tried to tweak each policy response_time_ms introduced in patch
7 instead? With the series applied, boot with PELT8, record the response time
values for each policy, then boot back again to PELT32 and use those values.
Does this produce similar results?

You didn't share power numbers which I assume the perf gains are more important
than the power cost for you.


Thanks!
