Thx for the explanation.
I installed thermald and started it, but irqbalance nevertheless gets
deactivated by systemd.

systemd[1]: Started irqbalance daemon.
/usr/sbin/irqbalance[1248]: thermal: received group id (3).
/usr/sbin/irqbalance[1248]: thermal: no CPU capacity change.

What am I missing here?
