Running the command "powercfg /energy" on Vista and later generates a report on power utliization. On my laptop, MLO was identified as one of 3 processes requesting fine timer resolution (1 millisecond) which causes excessive power drain.
Below is what was in the HTML report generated by the Poewrcfg tool. Andrey: can you check if this is really necessary for MLO to have such fine resolution timers? Or at least make this an option? ====================== Platform Timer Resolution:Outstanding Timer Request A program or service has requested a timer resolution smaller than the platform maximum timer resolution. Requested Period 10000 Requesting Process ID 1040 Requesting Process Path \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files (x86)\MyLifeOrganized.net\MLO\mlo.exe Platform Timer Resolution:Timer Request Stack The stack of modules responsible for the lowest platform timer setting in this process.
