Basically, it works like Ondemand except instead of polling, it activates on coming out of idle. Like Ondemand, it scale the CPU to max and then scales down to match the load.
I keep testing this mode and switching back to Ondemand. It's very responsive if you're simply testing one thing at a time but I find if you're actually using your device, it doesn't seem to scale back up fast enough in between tasks.
On the other hand, since it doesn't poll, there's no 50ms (maximum) lag for the device to scale up nor is there a (miniscule) penalty for continuously polling the CPU.
