Device becomes slow even when power saving mode is disabled

There is

  1. Device specific mitigation configuration for dealing with overheating, low battery, etc defined by device manufacturer / chipset vendor / like entity with knowledge about low level hw details

  2. Generic SailfishOs power saving mode

These are independent of each other and activating/deactivating power saving mode does not have any effect on performance tuning items like clock rates etc.

Basically a notification is shown whenever there is a change in “power save mode is active” state i.e. value of expression

psmActive = (batteryLevel < threshold AND charger == disconnected)

changes. And in this case attaching a charger causes such change.
