With the userspace-governour you shouldn't have any of the userspace daemons
running otherwise the frequency will change.

Nope, the performance-governour sets the cpu-freq to its max and stays there.
No changing apart from the first set-to-max when you load it and the frequency
wasn't at its max before.
No glitches.
The same goes for the powersave, only the frequency is set to minimum there.

Only governours to change the frequency are conservative, ondemand and
(surprise) userspace.

Have fun,

Arnold
