Battery problem - high energy consumption

You could also try to set soft affinity with Qubes Admin Events

After setting service and restart all qubes, by default every qube will have soft affinity set to e-cores (will prefer e-cores) except for qubes with tag performance which you set and forget like that (in dom0 terminal):

qvm-tags app-YouTube add performance

and those qubes will have soft affinity (scheduler preference) set to p-cores

It’s also good to set scheduler wieght of dom0 2x as much as other qubes.
Default weight of sched-credit2 for all qubes is 256

xl sched-credit2

here you see, thad dom0 is ID is 0 and by standard all qubes have weight 256, so set it to 512 for dom0:

xl sched-credit2 -d 0 -w 512

PS: weight for sched-credit2 for dom0 is set persistently if you add this command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
