Works, for met too!
I noticed the following behaviors:
The message "Performance set to economy" is no longer visible at boot 
(which IMHO is favorable).
The laptop is off line noticeable slower then on line but the 
throttle_state's are the same (hw.acpi.cpu.throttle_max: 8, 
hw.acpi.cpu.throttle_state: 8) plugging the power cord in doesn't make 
the laptop faster, when once booted off line.
I seem to fail to discover which sysctl to tweak to get it at full speed.

Thanks you (and all the other contributers offcourse) for the excellent 
work, I really appreciate it!
