yes, but what we also pointed out was that the user isn't able to make a
good trade-off, and PS isn't necessarily linear anyway. Therefore,
making the default be based on letting applications set what sort of
latency/quality guarantees they set makes sense for a good user
experience with maximum power saving that doesn't affect applications,
if the user wants to go higher maybe we can later allow that in some
way, but the default should be based on what performance apps expect.
