When changing the governor setting, I'm asked for my password 4 times. That's also how many (virtual) cpu cores I have, so I'm probably asked once per core. Additionally, if I change my mind I have to the password another 4 times. For me it's just on the edge of annoying, but I don't want to imagine having 8+ cores.
In case this is not just my machine doing funny things, could you improve this behaviour to only asking once per change and maybe also to keep the permission for a while (like sudo does)?
