Root Requesting Governor Advice

Hi! I'm new to the forums and this is my 1st post. Got my triumph earlier this week and have been tweaking it. Rooted it and installed cm7 reloaded and am very pleased with it. Default Kernel was set at interactive. I was wondering if there was a better governor I could use to get better battery life. Or is interactive what I should be using? I am using no-frills as well.
 
Personally,I use ondemand. I set it to bump up at 65%load with 30% power savings. I find this to be smooth and very easy on the battery. As always,I would suggest to experiment. The first post on"reloaded"has a link to the kernel the ROM came from, which has a link to Assn article on governors. The ones that lock the clock to a minimum may give you problems
 
There are a few kernels you can choose from, but Whyzor's kernel is built into the CM7 Reloaded ROM by default and is very good. He is always updating it, so just keep an eye on the first post in the Reloaded thread.

Sorry, I have SetCPU. It has a feature to tune some of the governors, set profiles and has a tab for testing and info. If you are using the built in CM7 settings, then you won't have that feature.

I would recommend getting SetCPU, it's like $2.

Or you can look into No-frills or AnTuTu cpu master

No-frills has a feature to adjust your I/O scedualer. I don't feel that's needed myself, just what I know for now.
 
On demand is my favorite. From my experience it still ramps up and down faster than any other governor! To each is own though!!

I use a 10000 microsecond sampling time with a 45% up threshold with no power save bias. I found this lets it ramp up fast when needed. But I use screen off profiles to limit the clock speed to 576mhz when the screen is off. I get good battery and its really smooth still.
