Hello ,
Some days ago I wanted some extra performance for sometime as I had some kind work which required two or three times video rendering,
So I decided to install performance-tweaks to gain that but when I restarted my PC then it showed me this :
I was not able to go to log in screen and the caps lock button was continuously blinking , at that time I thought that this may get away after some updates but still the problem is same, currently I am using auto-cpufreq but it would be great if I would be able to get performance tweaks ... 
Thanks in advance
