Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a processor that is capable of switching a performance level to one of a plurality of performance levels with different power consumption, and a storage unit that stores a program for controlling the performance level of the processor. The processor executing the program detects the periodicity of load variation of the information processing apparatus, and changes, according to the periodicity of the load variation, a determination interval for determining whether to switch the performance level of the processor.
