I think you never really explained why you do not like setting it to
performance. Ok, your choice which governor to take, but userspace is just
plain wrong here.

If frequency is at minimum at the time the userspace governor is set, it
will never increase during suspend image creation. I can imagine that this
will slow down compression quite heavily.

Having TEMPORARY_CPUFREQ_GOVERNOR variable doesn't really help here, we've
to do a patch in any case. Well, of course, you've the final say. Maybe
it's just me you doesn't understand it...
