Thanks for your work. I tested this, and it actually looks to have made things worse, if anything.
Here are four powertop logs, each run with -d -t 300. Prepatch is the stock ubuntu kernel as of today, postpatch is your build. Without load is standard gnome stuff and xmonad running, plus daemons, and nothing else. With load adds several browser tabs, one of which downloading playing a long youtube video throughout. You'll notice that things get worse postpatch in both scenarios, but probably not to a statistically significant degree. Perhaps I don't suffer from this bug? If you get the chance, since you already have the machinery to make debian builds (and I've never actually figured out the proper way to do this for the kernel), do you think you could build me a copy of the same thing, but with the timer frequency set to 100Hz? Feel free to just mail me debs rather than uploading them to the ppa, if you can do this for me. ** Attachment added: "powertop-logs.tar.bz2" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49496012/powertop-logs.tar.bz2 -- 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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
