Please consider upgrading to 2.6.21 or backporting the NO_HZ
functionality as it reduces powerusage of a processor and thus
saves the
environment.
{0}
since long enabled and is in sid.
Are you sure?
Yes. But only available for i386.
{1}
Ok, thanks.
Too much fallout (for .21 release) for useless feature even not for most
modern hardware, e.g. AMD64.
Mmm, i fail to see the relevantness of this with regard to the post
above, but ...
It's relevant to {0} and {1}, because of faith and probably fanaticism.
Thus, i tried to bring some facts and clear thinking (under new
subject). Hope they were constructive.
