Did you mean milli-Joule? What they are concerned about is the several 10s of watts that result if the machine is idle, other than ntpd and they require more than 1 second of idle time before doing a suspend to RAM, or the 10s or 100s of Joules if ntpd does longer term periodic processing at a different time from other applications, resulting in energy being expended to get out of suspend to RAM, and energy being used until the scheduler decides that the system is more likely not to do anything for a long time than not, and triggers a suspend to RAM, and finally the actual suspend to RAM operation. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
