I get the kworker wakeups as well, although they are not always higher than the load balancing tick - I found if I left things alone they dropped much lower.
The most interesting thing for me was that applying the load-balancing patches to 2.6.35 saved 1-2 W in the estimated ACPI power usage, and I get that drop in 2.6.36 without having to apply patches. I presume that's because they have been incorporated into the newer kernel. -- Tens of wakes per second in "[kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick" on Core 2 Duo even with only 1 core enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Debian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
