Qole,

Just enter the cpu-perform code in Xterm, close Xterm and keep going? Or is there more to this? Does it stay tweaked after you restart? And, heck, what does it mean to "peg" the processor? Thanks.

This makes things a lot more snappy. Battery life will suffer accordingly, but this is the little blue pill for your limp little tablet.

To come down off your high, run this script:

cpu-ondemand
Code:
echo ondemand >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
My tests have shown that this can make even desktop apps like OpenOffice usable on the tablet.

So while most of us have to wait a loooong time for OMAP3, we might as well push our old OMAP2 as hard as they'll go!

(thanks, lcuk, for the tip!)
