Package: wmmoonclock
Version: 1.27-22
Severity: normal
I just ran powertop on my laptop, and found wmmoonclock is the program
that causes the CPU to wake up most often on my system. If I am
understanding this strace correctly, it's sleeping for only 10ms at a
time, and hence wakes up 100 times a second. Is it necessary to
update so often just to update the moon's phase? If you need to poll
for mouse clicks in this time, 10 times a second would be plenty
(that's how often we update the telescope encoders and button presses
in the computer in the 3.9M AAT :-)
