I don't remember what I did on my old i7 to keep it on performance. One
involved having to push the performance setting to EACH CPU/thread, I
think that's covered on that link somewhere. May have been a script. I
don't remember how I did it, but it stuck between boots. I think I
actually tried three different things, so I really don't know which one
did the trick.
I haven't done it on my present i9. Laptops aren't really good homes for
the i9 - needs a whole lot more airflow than a laptop can provide.
Running at 900MHz right now and 115F.

I'm just experimenting with new setups of Debian for audio. When
running
RealtimeConfigQuickScan it triggered a vague recollection of a
discussion (here?) that configuring hpet and rtc timers is no longer
necessary as they are not used any more. Is this true or am I
misremembering?
The wiki guide at
https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration
is still a goldmine for setup but it contains some sections of
which I
am unsure whether they are still applicable, including the HW
timers bit.
Hmm...doing similar, but, I can't get the cpu frequency to stay set
between boots...
I get around that by using Liquorix kernel which I think is hard coded
to use performance governor. The wiki doesn't mention what to do if
scaling driver is intel_pstate although from reading it's possible to
disable that and load acpi-cpufreq scaling driver instead which is
needed to be able to set the governor to performance AFAIK. There are
several pertinent questions on StackOverflow discussing that, like -
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53349933/specify-cpu-frequency-as-a-ker…
Back to HW timers, it's trivial to set them as
explained in the wiki,
but I'm just wondering if they are actually still used?
Don't know about that. Wasn't that something that had to be set in the
kernel at compile time?
