   CPU power saving depends on both frequency and idle states (where much   
   of the CPU is stopped entirely).  On x86 CPUs it's often better to run   
   at high frequency for short periods and spend more time in idle state.   
      
   Most tools showing you the average frequency don't take into account the   
   time spent in idle state where the frequency is effectively 0.   
      
   Have you measured actual power usage and compared the old and new kernel   
   versions?

   Again you have looked at some numbers and decided they are bad, but what   
   is the real problem?

   Yes, modern web sites are very resource-intensive, but what makes this a   
   Debian bug?

   This sentence contradicts itself - no actually it doesn't.
