it really nasty that if it tripped < 20% idle time that the freq was set to 100%. This code smoothly increases the cpufreq as well as doing a better job of decreasing it too

I'd much prefer it shot up to 100% or else every time the cpu usage went up there'd be an obvious lag till the machine ran at it's capable speed. I very much doubt the small amount of time it spent at 100% speed with the default design would decrease the battery life significantly as well.
