Not PyGTK-specific data, but you can see power-saving by reducing wakeups by playing with Intel's 'powertop' utility on linux (also see the "lesswatts" site mentioned earlier). One example was the interaction between PulseAudio & ALSA that caused a lot of "wakeups", and thus prevented laptops from going into the more "agressive" power saving modes; if PyGTK has a similar issue, that would make it less useful on laptops... -- Jan Claeys _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
