Bhyve questions from a new VM user

I might grow on this thread to include all basic bhyve questions. I am looking for general guidance.

Question #1) What should I do with powerd on a FreeBSD bhyve hypervisor.

My first inkling is to disable it altogether. What are your thoughts?
Client VM's disable it too?
 
I just seems to me you really want each instance to manage CPU's and thier power states.
So maybe disable powerd on hypervisor and use on VM's?

Turn it off, disable it. A VM cannot change the power settings of the CPU any way. That would pose problems, how to deal with a VM that sets the CPU to low power while another VM is requesting full power?
