This is my understanding of them; someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

OnDemand scales up CPU speed as the CPU load remains high.

Interactive does the same, but quicker, and backs off slower.

Conservative does the same, but slower, and backs off quicker

Performance stays at the max CPU speed, all the time.

PowerSave stays at the min CPU speed, all the time.

Wow, that actually made sense to me.
Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks for that! But what about userspace? I didn't see that on there

That thread contains about 120 hours of my research into overclocking and the different types of governors available.
