k315rc4doug9_r3: CPU Frequency Verses load experiment: Powersave mode; Min = Max = 100%. First Attempt.
Overview:

Detail A - Start of Experiment:

Detail B - End of Experiment:

. Questions: Note this goes to 3.8 Giga Hertz, as expected. Why is preformance mode different? Aren't these settings in Powersave mode the equivalent of Performance Mode?
. The CPU frequency is calm and low at the start of the experiment, but not before, as shown in detail A.
. The CPU frequency settles to a calm and low(ish) value at the end of the experiment as shown in detail B.
