Literally the very last sentence of the documentation explicitly states that thermald will control the P-States of the CPU to decrease temperature without affecting the T-states (clock cycles) thus not harming performance.

Its not throttling or visibly impacting the performance on my two systems at all (Sandy Bridge & Broadwell). Where are you reading in that thermald will suddenly wreck performance?
