laptop-mode-tools blocks machine performance?

Hello all,

I was having overheating and loud fan usage, then I installed laptop-mode-tools hdparm sdparm acpid and enabled them. Now the machine became quiet and cool but playing flash games, looking at news which has flash designs and videos became slideshow, its really pain. I left sensors-detect at auto and I don't want to disable laptop-mode-tools because it also affects battery usage obviously.
What should I do for best performance ?

I had issues with laptop-mode-tools but when i switched to TLP instead, problems disappeared.

You could try using it instead TLP Archwiki and see if you still have issues
