The current default of always using the performance power state leads to increased power consumption of mobile devices, which have a dedicated battery power state. Switch between the performance and battery power state automatically, depending on the current AC power status, when the user asked for the balanced power state.
The user can still override this choice by asking for the performance or battery power state explicitly.
