    In the "advanced power options" dialogue, you should be able to set a specific plan to do one thing on battery and another on power - try setting the "balanced" mode so that on battery it does what "power saver" does, and on outlet power it does what "High performance" does.

    thanx for the info, I adjusted the balanced power plan to have full performence (CPU 100 all the time) while plugged in and to power save while in battery :)
