Call me curious, but (assuming that you're tuning for performance, not
economy, and so will always run these boxes on AC power, not battery):

  a) why you think that line in /etc/rc.d/power_profile is 'funny'?

  b) what value for performance_cx_lowest you would consider more
     appropriate to use than C1, and why?

  c) whether you have overridden the /etc/defaults/rc.conf values for
     {performance,economy}_cx_lowest or {performance,economy}_cpu_freq ?

Cheers, Ian
