I don't think the differences are really important... I tried to compile 2.6.21 with and without CONFIG_NO_HZ, and monitored the power consumption in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state, but I could not see any major difference... Feel free to reproduce the experiment (I did that quite quickly). Best regards, Nicolas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
