I know they burn power. But AFAIK they are inherent to the way these devices work, and cannot be avoided (I'd love to be proven wrong) ? In that case, for purposes of optimizing power usage, those interrupts are best ignored or not-generated so that we can focus on what's fixable. _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power
