Package: offlineimap
Version: 4.0.16
Severity: normal

Hello,

Thank you for offlineimap!

I've finally managed to play with powertop and it turns out offlineimap
is one of the top causes of wakeups in my system:

Top causes for wakeups:
  52,6% (186,4)       <interrupt> : extra timer interrupt 
   7,3% ( 26,0)       offlineimap : schedule_timeout (process_timeout) 

offlineimap is sleeping during collection of those statistics.  At first
I realised it was because of the blinkenlight interface needing to
update the countdowns.  But then I switched the interface to
Noninteractive.Basic, and I still get the wakeups.

I guess the wait is not implemented with a big sleep but with many
1-second sleeps, which however could turn out to be a power hit.


Ciao,

Enrico
