Package: wmrack
Version: 1.3-2
Severity: normal

I just ran powertop on my laptop, and found wmrack is the program that
causes the CPU to wake up second most often (behind wmmoonclock) on my
system.  If I am understanding this strace correctly, it's sleeping
for only 5ms at a time, and hence wakes up 200 times a second.  Is it
necessary to poll so often just to receive mouse clicks and poll the
volume settings and time elapsed?  If you need to poll for mouse
clicks in this time, 10 times a second would be plenty.

nanosleep({0, 5000000}, NULL)           = 0
ioctl(6, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
