When configuring a new #kernel #schedutil(¹) is now the default #CPUFreq governor for x86 in #Linux mainline which might improve the processors performance & efficiency in some cases: https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ef05db16bbd81c0afc4e97806ab338665863bd3b

(¹) added in 4.7, see https://lwn.net/Articles/682391/ & https://git.kernel.org/linus/9bdcb44e391d
BTW: #Linux mainline for #kernel 5.7 also got a few scheduler improvements that should improve the performance of #schedutil.
