Description

The estd daemon dynamically sets the CPU-frequency on SpeedStep-, PowerNow-, and ACPI P-States-enabled CPUs depending on current cpu-utilization. It is written for systems running NetBSD or DragonFly.

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
