i think you find it's the vfs cache pressure that is making the difference i noticed no difference with the powersave bias but changing the vfs made the most improvenments
Can you test it without VFS settings tweaked?

If powersave_bias has any effect at all it would only be when the CPU is being actively used enough to trigger a frequency change. As 10mA is an idle current draw, comparing that to measure powersave_bias effects is useless.
Even on idle, the frequency keeps on changing, with powerbias, in my opinion, the fluctuation should be reduced improving battery life.

110 is optimum in my opinion because, in higher values, i noticed the cpu is not using the maximum frequency most of the times, if not at all.

i tested idle and minor usage, not too significant or everyday usage coz I dont get alotta free time and I jus use the phone for calls.

If someone can test the performance outcomes on idle and on usage and get talk time, usage times, idle times and power consumption per hour or more for each of those, I'd be glad
