ondemand is the CPUFreq default configured in the kernel, but the kernel ignores this setting depending on the hardware. If your hardware is based on a relatively modern Intel CPU then you're probably using the Intel P-State system instead of CPUFreq which defaults to powersave (overriding the CPUFreq default setting). With performance mode enabled you may find your CPU never downclocks so be careful it doesn't have any temperature issues.
