Len recommended to compile the kernel by default to what is wanted.
Assumed it should work, I guess this would be a good workaround. Btw. a
while ago Len made some claims about "ondemand" vs "performance" in the
meanwhile I made some electricity consumption measurements and I will
continue those measurements. Currently it seems to be, that my machine
does consume more kWh when using "ondemand", yes, it seems to be that
"performance" is consuming less kWh on my machine. There are two weak
points, I don't have a good measuring instrument for this task and the
workflow likely has got impact to the result too. Anyway, a lowlatency
(full preempt) and a rt-kernel by default should come with
"performance".
