I really wonder why you are all raving about this.
Take a look at your own NB [1].
Disable PCI and/or PCIe power-management in the BIOS
and also disable
EIST and C1E halt-states; and, the 'ondemand' governor will works just fine.
There's no PCI/PCIe power-management option and no EIST for my BIOS.
C1E already was disabled.
If you have an unlimited supply of power and noise of
cooling
the system is of no concern: sure, use the 'performance' CPU-freq
governor -- reducing the number of possibilities in complex systems
usually increases reliability... which is indeed a good thing for audio.

NB. frequency scaling _can_ be an issue when using
jack2 (or tschak) on
a multi-core machine: The total system-load (over all CPUs) may still be
too low for the CPU governor to react, while DSP load is already at the
limit.
