After months of running Ubuntu, I discovered it was throttling the CPU. I
keep nice 19 processes using 100% CPU 24/7, and I want all the speed I can
get from the CPU.

(they're nice 19 just so they don't make the desktop slower, I still want
them to run as fast as they can)

I had to set some relatively obscure parameter to "performance"
(was "ondemand").
