I was not running powerd, but I just enabled it with:
performance_cx_lowest="HIGH"
performance_cpu_freq="HIGH"
economy_cx_lowest="HIGH"
economy_cpu_freq="HIGH"

If I'm reading the rc.conf man page correctly, that will give me the
benefit of good performance while at the same time dropping the cpu
frequency and power usage when idle?

Any other suggestions are welcome.
