Very slow with OMV image, very fast with Ubuntu image

[Mentaluproar]

There's a strange issue with my orange pi 5 plus.  When I boot into the ubuntu image, everything is fast, stable and zippy.  But when I boot into the openmediavault image, it's incredibly slow.  Simple operations like apt upgrade crawl. I noticed the cpu frequency is stuck at 408 MHz in htop in the openmediavault image.

 

I ran a test.  I opened another console and ran yes.  Went back to htop and the frequency was still stuck at 408 MHz with one core pegged at 100% from the yes.  So I fired up the ubuntu image and did the same thing.  The core was at 100% but the frequency was at 2304mhz on that core.

 

There is something wrong with the openmediavault image.  What do I need to do to fix this?

Further digging shows the ubuntu image is using the ondemand scheduler and the OMV image uses schedutil, but schedutil should be able top clock up when needed just fine.

 

Manually setting all cores to "ondemand" does not result raise the frequency under load. I'm noticing cpufreq-info shows the speed must be between 408mhz and 408mhz across all cores. It seems both schedulers must be set to limit this frequency.

 

I'm reading some places the cpupower is preferred over cpufrequtils.  Given this isn't a mainline kernel but instead the rockchip 6.1 kernel, would that even work?
