As of | Linux kernel version 2.6.21, the kernel no longer has a fixed 1000Hz | timer tick. This will (in theory) give a huge power savings because | the CPU stays in low power mode for longer periods of time during | system idle. | . | However... there are many things that can ruin the party, both inside | the kernel and in userspace. PowerTOP combines various sources of | information from the kernel into one convenient screen so that you can | see how well your system is doing, and which components are the | biggest problem. | Homepage: http://www.linuxpowertop.org | Tag: hardware::laptop, implemented-in::c, interface::commandline, role::program, scope::utility | Task: laptop `---- __> aptitude install powertop HTH.
