How many hours of charge it gives you.

Basically (race-to-idle). The problem with performance is when tasks are sitting around using CPU all day long (even at 0.1%). Then the CPU sits on all that time at a much higher voltage than it would in ondemand.

If you don't have any tasks using CPU frequently, however, the CPU will actually spend less time active in performance than ondemand.
