This is interesting, as the kernel help for the performance governor states:

"This cpufreq governor sets the frequency statically to the highest
available CPU frequency."

Who or what process may still downscale the freq? Or is it CPU internal?
And in latter case may that be an indicator that your cooling isn't
sufficient?
