Issue 2039: Chrome timers use more power due to timeBeginPeriod(1) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2039
Comment #3 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I found this also in the report-a-bug logs: 2008-09-09-chromebugs.log:2008-09-09 22:24:27.071937,1,4387595510262054452,0.2.149.29.1798,en,5.1.2600 Service Pack 2,0,N/A,New Tab, This browser under windows appears to change the OS timer tick to 1ms, causing the interrupts/s to amplify from a couple hundred to 1,100 or so a second. This is a huge waste of power and defeats most of the power management features in computers. If you expect people to use this web browser, then only change the timer tick to a faster rate when its needed. Look at interrups/second on IEx and Safari and you won't see this problem (they are mobile friendly). Don't test this on a page with Adobe FLASH, as FLASH will set the timertick to 1ms (Adobe needs to fix this also). Please fix this. --- Intel -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
