The script is /etc/init.d/ondemand
It sleeps for 1 minute and then sets the scaling
governor, based on availability, in the following order:
interactive
ondemand
powersave

See also:

$ ls -l /etc/rc?.d/S06ondemand
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar  8 09:51 /etc/rc2.d/S06ondemand -> ../init.d/ondemand
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar  8 09:51 /etc/rc3.d/S06ondemand -> ../init.d/ondemand
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar  8 09:51 /etc/rc4.d/S06ondemand -> ../init.d/ondemand

That is normal, and is turbo mode. Example:

$ sudo turbostat -i 3 --msr=0x199
     CPU Avg_MHz   %Busy Bzy_MHz TSC_MHz   MSR 0x199
       -     478   12.53    3798    3413  0x00000000
