laptop + nvidia twinview = maximum performance level

I'm using 285.05.09 drivers. Whenever I connect my second monitor to my laptop nvidia PowerMizer scales the performance to maximum, which makes the laptop noisy, although I don't need it.
Has anyone else encountered this bug ?

Not a bug. Driving two displays requires higher bandwidth, and that can only be achieved by upping the performance level.
