estd-r7
* Add support for ACPI P-States on DragonFly.
* Improve multi-core support on DragonFly. For each CPU domain with individually
controllable CPU frequency, the load of the most loaded CPU is used instead of
the overall avarage load.
This avoids issues on SMP systems where a single-threaded CPU bound process
will lead to at most 50% overall load.
* Ove Soerensen has asked me to take over maintainership of estd.
The new project page is at http://www.ecademix.com/JohannesHofmann/estd.html
* added support for ultra-low frequency idle-mode on CPUs that support
On Demand Clock Modulation
* added an option to delay lowering the frequency
* added an option to count time spent on nice processes as idle
Fixed the file mode of the example rc.d script. (PR 34564)
This also fixes PR 32835, which had already suggested all the changes I
made, but I've seen it too late. :)
nudge from Rumi Szabolcs on port-i386.
The estd daemon dynamically sets the CPU-frequency on
SpeedStep-enabled CPUs depending on current cpu-utilization. It is
written for systems running NetBSD.
Examples:
Maximize battery lifetime by limiting CPU-frequency to 1000 MHz and
switching to lower speeds fast:
estd -d -b -M 1000
Maximize performance by running at least at 1400MHz and switching to
higher speeds real fast:
estd -d -a -m 1400
