Yes. The CPU reduces clock speeds when idle, yet Windows remains active for maintenance tasks and checks. This happens occasionally, causing the noticeable increase in CPU speed.

It's worth considering if the high performance power mode is suitable for your needs.

No, since it provides no significant advantage compared to Balanced. The CPU will increase power as required.
