Hi,

interestingly, jack2 on my debian 64bit system simply refuses to let the
ondemand governor change the frequency, so it stays at whatever
frequency it was. I set

cpufreq-set -g performance -cX

before starting jack and

cpufreq-set -g ondemand -cX

after I kill jack for best performance while preserving power saving
when not working on audio. Never had any issues.

Best
Benjamin
