CPU Frequency Monitor changes by itself.

I find this annoying. I'll modify the CPU scale and set it to "Powersave" at boot but then somehow it will change to "On Demand" and then I have to change it back.

CPU Freq Scale Version: 2.32.1.1

This could be by design. Perhaps not good design though. For permanent effect you will want to add

echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

to /etc/rc.local. Repeat for cpu1... if you have more than one cpu. However, if your reason is to save power, ondemand just might be the best selection.
