This link in your email claimed 30-40 minutes savings on some laptop when using dynticks and hi-res timers but people on this list claimed that it made very little difference and I've read on another blog that it reduced power usage by a few watts at most. Has anyone had a difference experience? Has anyone with a MacBook (not Pro) tried dynticks since there at least there's no question as to whether a poorly written ati driver might be causing problems?
The blog entry paints a rosy picture for the future so at least that's good ;-> ta, Sheer On 5/8/07, Michael Gangolf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://vizzzion.org/?blogentry=709 > > "Intel has a nice tool to analyse userspace misbehaviour.
