Hello!
I have yet to see my processor turbo, and while its not critical - I do use this system to not only host but serve my media and having this enabled would help for media that needs to transcode.
Digging around I found this thread where @cyberjock states that due to ZFS being multithreaded turboboost wont do to much, but this was in 2014 when I believe turboboost was only affecting single core speeds. Today, at least in Intel 9th gen all cores can boost, it just tapers down the boost multiplier as more cores are loaded so even in multithreaded workloads turbo boost is more valid today than in 2014.

I checked the command given in this article (https://www.ateamsystems.com/tech-blog/increase-freebsd-performance-with-powerd/ ) and FreeNAS is indeed seeing that I have it enabled and available but it doesnt ever move from the base clock.
I have NOT tried enabling the powerd yet as I wanted to check here first since I can find only old references for it talking about turning on the service in the GUI, this is not available in the latest versions of FreeNAS.
Looking for an updated take on enabling this and any risks.
Also, regarding the note when you fire up a SSH to FreeNAS it states any config changes will be lost after a reboot, does this include things like what would be required here where you are adding lines to rc.conf? I am not real clear on what types of changes do not hold through a reboot and what do via the CLI.
Thank you!
