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?
