Tweaking governor for better battery while typing?

[ksc6000#AC]

One thing that has always bothered me is how quickly (relatively) the battery drains on any android phone i've had in the past 6 years when typing. I can read articles, scroll webpages and whatnot for hours...but if I'm having a heavy day of instant messaging, my battery drains much faster. This makes sense due to way that this phone and most android phones ship with the ondemand governor. Just to test, and you can try this too, in better battery stats or some other app that can monitor CPU speeds, set a custom reference and then type for one minute in a note keeping app or an instant messaging app. Then go back and check. What you'll find is that the CPU frequency stays at max 80% of the time or more, because the screen is being touched the entire time. So to me, that is horribly inefficient.

I went ahead and bought an iPhone 6s to try to see if iOS handles typing better, and it does. I can get about 6-7 minutes of nonstop typing before the battery drops 1%, whereas on mine it can be anywhere from a minute and half to 3 minutes tops.

I want to see if I can clamp down on this so I found this post but it's very specific to the Nexus 5x: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexu...3269557/page51

What do you guys think? I'm not nearly well versed in this kind of stuff so I need some help. Let me know!
