Ubuntu Focal 20.04 default scaling governor "powersave"

Just recently upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 and was so far quite happy with a reasonable regression free experience.

But then - as inevitable as it might be - I ended up going for the real stuff: building full system from source.

This felt awkwardly slow ... and then i found that my CPU was running under powersave governor... i fixed this by explicitly going for performance ....

For that I did:

/etc/default/cpufrequtils:GOVERNOR="performance"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Any better ideas on how to get back "ondemand" type of behaviour?
