By default the cpu frequency will +increase in 5% chunks of your maximum cpu frequency. You can change this +value to anywhere between 0 and 100 where '0' will effectively lock your +CPU at a speed regardless of its load whilst '100' will, in theory, make +it behave identically to the "ondemand" governor. + +down_threshold: same as the 'up_threshold' found for the "ondemand" +governor but for the opposite direction.
