In many places of my scripts for automated testing I use currently the
"nice -n" prefix at my ThinkPad to keep a long battery life, quiet fan,
cool CPU. The CPU just runs with minimal frequency but will give
med/max. power on demand.

If the P-State governor will be the replacement the old behaviour -

the kernel menu config says "will become the perferred ... (sic!)
...scaling driver for Sandy bridge processors" -

is there a nifty user space tool which replaces "nice" and do all cgroup
stuff for the user ?
