The general problem here is that the ondemand governor is aimed more at power savings than performance. In cases where the ondemand governor performs worse than the performance governor, the "sampling_down_factor" tunable is often useful. I submitted the patch to add this tunable a few weeks ago and it was acked by Venki, but I don't know what happened to it after that.

Would you like to get it merged into linux-linaro? Given it's been ack'd I think Nicolas might be willing to consider it:
