Ubuntu still frustratingly defaults to schedutil or powersave governors even on servers... A rather silly default many will argue

The carbon footprint of servers sitting idle is important, too.

Servers sitting idle is a strange concept. Ideally those resources should be powered down and workloads should be consolidated until the machines reach an optimal level of utilization.

Wouldn’t disagree, but have I got bad news for you.

Global utilisation rates are very low. 5~15%

I guess the reality is that solving that would require a practically impossible level of coordination across the industry.

If you want readily available resources, you can't power down servers when they're not being utilized.

That's not to say you shouldn't make attempts to conserve power with better performance scheduling on the CPU.

Doubling PHP performance is huge.

Ideally Ubuntu would take these optimizations and incorporate them into their stack.
