Maybe (presumably it depends on the time constants), but in general the conservative governor wastes more power, so then we need a third governor to switch between ondemand and conservative depending on workload...

please call the new governors conservative, labour and liberal. then let the processes vote for which one they want, and keep it for 4 years.

Unfortunately not.
Conservative is pretty much like ondemand, just with a slower ramp up....
so it's be worse not better at this workload.
