set cpu performance mode

A cheap/dirty little hack to increase idle CPU frequency and increase performance in general (don't blame me when your battery runs dry in about 3 hours):

(must have root first!)

cat /proc/cpuinfo (use this to see cpu speed, you will see at idle its 162.54mhz)

adb shell
echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

cat /proc/cpuinfo (now idling at 662.40mhz!)

If you want to switch back:

adb shell
echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
