Could you point me to some more info about this (I couldn't find any bug reports)? I'm interested in following up on it so we can one day move to ondemand by default. For what it's worth, fedora and opensuse have been using ondemand for some time. Is it known why we are seeing problems and they are not?
Thats why I changed it, Thomas comes up with the concerns. You can always use cpufreq to change to whatever you need though. I have no issues with changing it again to ondemand or let it on performance. Shall we vote about it?

It does not matter that much. The cpufreq modules are not loaded by default. But that might change some day. On my old Opteron cpu I noticed an increased response time when using the ondemand governor. On the other hand I have seen cheap notebooks which will overheat easily if you don't clock down the cpu most of the time. I think Thomas was concerned about p4-clockmod. But this isn't a real clock scaling driver anyway; so shouldn't be used with cpufreq. In short: the user has to decide what is best for them. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
