    Did you try changing the nice'd processes weight?
    Default is nice'd processes count as 1/3 that is
    cpu_interval=70-100,3
    you can change it to
    cpu_interval=70-100,1
    to have them count for their full cpu usage.
    See cpufreqd.conf(5) for a detailed explanation.

    If it still doesn't work would you please provide your
    configuration file (or even a simple use case if you can).

    Thanks

    I think this is a issue with the kernel governors. The
    performance govenor will not increase the cpu frequency if
    only niced processes are running as far as i can see.

    The performance governor is a _static_ governor, it simply
    uses the highest limit set.
    Maybe you mean the ondemand and/or conservative governors,
    they have a separate setting for ignore/unignore nice'd
    processes.

    Changes to governor parameters like 'ignore_nice' are lost
    when cpufreqd switches to another profile. I've made a
    plugin that allows setting these parameters in
    profile-sections of the cpufreqd.conf file.

    This way the parameters like ignore_nice' become pesistent.
    They can even be set differently in different profiles.

    The plugin is available from the pathes page. It works for
    me. Hope other people have a use for it.
