Acabei de instalar o Ubuntu 13.04 no meu MacBook Air, depois de brincar por algum tempo, a máquina ficou muito lenta, então verifiquei a frequência da CPU. cpufreq-info, relata 800MHz em todos os 4 núcleos (que é a configuração mais baixa). O governador está definido para ondemand. Agora, quando eu coloco alguma carga no sistema (rodando um pequeno script que carrega coisas quatro vezes), a máquina mexe, mas o cpufreq-info ainda está reportando 800MHz. Eu posso definir manualmente a frequência para 2GHz, o que resolve o problema de desempenho, mas vai me custar minha bateria.
Esta é a saída do cpufreq-info:
