The current process isn't necessarily ideal for all workloads - that's 
one of the reasons for letting workspace modify process affinity. I 
agree that the "performance" mode will tend to provide better 
performance than the "power" mode for an arbitrary workload, but if 
there are workloads that would perform better in "power" then it's a 
poor naming scheme.
