Looking at the kernel CPUFreq Governors documentation[1], It looks like powersave is actually a pretty poor default value for many applications, but especially servers.

I'm not sure about low-power applications like laptops, and how power usage is affected by frequency on other architectures.

Perhaps defaulting to the performance governor unless one of the more intelligent governors is available?
