hi all, This is kind of orthogonal, but still related. I am using powertop to figure of ways of extending battery life on my laptop Dell 700m running Ubuntu 7.04.
With 2.6.22-hrt and advice in the hints section on www.intelpowertop.org website, I have been able to bring down the number of wakeups of the CPU to 6 to 8/second with more than 99% of time spent in C4 with average residency of 120 - 140 ms, when nothing is running. However, when I run staroffice/openoffice I get atleast 20-25 wake ups / second with reduced average residency in C4. Does anyone know why this happens or how I can find out what what in staroffice/openoffice is causing the extra wakeups.
