The ondemand governor is the cpufreq controller for automatically adjusting
CPU speed with process demand.  What I am seeing is one core alternating
between full speed and half speed.  Doing a watch "cat /proc/cpuinfo"  will
show the varying speeds.  This would indicate brief periods of high usage.
When desktop effects are off both cores stay at low speed.

On another note, any ETA for the ability to add laucher buttons for
applications to the panel/desktop?

Thanks.
