AFAIK this was a concious decision and if I'm not mistaken, this is the
reason:
I actually wasn't trying to clock down the cpu but rather set the cpu from ondemand(default on plugged in mode) to performance so it's always at full throttle since that is best for me. Like I said I could easily do this before, however with 4.5.0 packages the option is missing. Would be great if that could be fixed...
That won't happen because it is not a bug. You will have to search the kde (not opensuse-kde) mailinglists archives for the explanation but the setting did not make sense, neither for increasing cpu performance nor for saving battery.
actually it makes sense for bugs like this: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13486 also in regard to rogue processes consuming 100%CPU (if you notice that within a minute, having the CPU on low power will probably have consumed much less energy) but ideally I'd agree with this setting being removed (having to execute a possibly unknown (to the user) command for this is also not ideal - especially if the feature has been around before) Nico
