yup. i still using frequency scaling too, although it is going to fade
away, because, according to some kernel dev, you save more power with a
tickless kernel when cpu is running full speed

however my CPU is hotter then and the fan wouldnt stop, so i still
prefer frequency scaling ondemand governor.

i guess this is due to jack_get_microseconds using hpet timer default.
which shouldnt get hit by frequency changes.
