I've also noticed some performance issues with intel_pstate in powersave
mode, in my case playing fullscreen video was very choppy. Switching to
the performance governor fixed things as well. Looking at turbostat, the
cores remain close to their minimal frequency pretty much all the time
in powersave.

Maybe 91a4cd4f3d8169d ("intel_pstate: Remove periodic P state boost")
which went in v3.14 is the culprit?

(I would also be curious to know what the driver authors recommend for
typical laptop usage, performance or powersave, since it defaults to
performance.)
