So there we go - just two samples with all applications closed, all preloaded konquerors stopped, Akonadi stopped, Nepomuk told to stop indexing (whether it did, is another question): Summary: 355,2 wakeups/second, 0,0 GPU ops/second and 0,0 VFS ops/sec Usage Events/s Category Description 100,0% Device Audio codec hwC0D0: Conexant 100,0% Device Audio codec hwC0D3: Intel 9,2 ms/s 89,2 Process kwin -session 10cec7d36b000131558400500000159990000_1331979787_317189 12,3 ms/s 67,5 Process /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -br -nolisten tcp -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-5Zjkna 2,0 ms/s 60,1 Process [irq/44-i915] 1,0 ms/s 40,0 Timer hrtimer_wakeup 257,1 µs/s 23,5 Interrupt [44] i915 2,7 ms/s 14,2 Process /usr/bin/konsole -session 10cec7d36b000132792037300000100040021_1331979787_178488 79,4 µs/s 7,5 Process [ksoftirqd/2] 143,2 µs/s 6,5 Process [irq/43-ahci] 7,9 ms/s 2,8 Process /usr/bin/plasma-desktop 66,6 µs/s 5,6 Process [ksoftirqd/0] 243,3 µs/s 4,6 Process [irq/16-mmc0] 400,8 µs/s 3,5 Timer tick_sched_timer 39,9 µs/s 2,9 Process [ksoftirqd/1] 19,9 µs/s 2,6 Process [btrfs-endio-met] 92,2 µs/s 1,9 Process [scsi_eh_2] 19,2 µs/s 1,9 Interrupt [16] mmc0 16,8 µs/s 1,6 Process [ksoftirqd/3] 150,0 µs/s 1,5 Process /usr/bin/dirmngr --daemon --sh 361,7 µs/s 1,2 Process [btrfs-transacti] 221,6 µs/s 1,2 Process /usr/lib/upower/upowerd 40,1 µs/s 1,1 Process [irq/9-acpi] 241,0 µs/s 1,0 kWork disk_events_workfn 107,8 µs/s 1,1 Process /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/hp-systray 124,5 µs/s 1,0 kWork cache_reap 291,0 µs/s 0,8 Process /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system 194,3 µs/s 0,8 Process kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit] 18,7 µs/s 0,7 Interrupt [43] SATA controller 580,1 µs/s 0,5 Process ksysguardd 148,5 µs/s 0,5 Process /usr/bin/virtuoso-t +foreground +configfile /tmp/virtuoso_jd2710.ini +wait 106,5 µs/s 0,5 Process udisks-daemon: polling /dev/sr0 16,0 µs/s 0,5 kWork e1000_watchdog_task 3,7 µs/s 0,5 kWork wq_barrier_func 2,6 µs/s 0,5 kWork i915_gem_retire_work_handler 33,7 µs/s 0,5 kWork gen6_pm_rps_work Summary: 261,3 wakeups/second, 0,0 GPU ops/second and 0,0 VFS ops/sec Usage Events/s Category Description 100,0% Device Audio codec hwC0D0: Conexant 100,0% Device Audio codec hwC0D3: Intel 6,7 ms/s 75,1 Process kwin -session 10cec7d36b000131558400500000159990000_1331979787_317189 10,6 ms/s 57,5 Process /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -br -nolisten tcp -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-5Zjkna 1,3 ms/s 39,4 Process [irq/44-i915] 273,0 µs/s 19,5 Interrupt [44] i915 0,9 ms/s 16,5 Timer hrtimer_wakeup 1,5 ms/s 6,8 Process /usr/bin/konsole -session 10cec7d36b000132792037300000100040021_1331979787_178488 81,0 µs/s 5,9 Process [ksoftirqd/2] 164,2 µs/s 5,2 Process [irq/43-ahci] 6,1 ms/s 2,1 Process /usr/bin/plasma-desktop 50,1 µs/s 4,1 Process [ksoftirqd/1] 21,1 µs/s 2,8 Interrupt [43] SATA controller 345,4 µs/s 2,2 Timer tick_sched_timer 114,2 µs/s 2,2 Process [irq/16-mmc0] 39,0 µs/s 2,1 Process [btrfs-endio-met] 91,0 µs/s 2,0 Process [scsi_eh_2] 4,5 ms/s 0,1 Process /usr/bin/korgac --icon korgac 30,1 µs/s 1,6 Process [ksoftirqd/0] 148,8 µs/s 1,5 Process /usr/bin/dirmngr --daemon --sh 0,7 ms/s 1,0 kWork disk_events_workfn 467,7 µs/s 1,0 Process [btrfs-transacti] 123,1 µs/s 1,1 kWork cache_reap 66,7 µs/s 1,0 Process /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/hp-systray 1,0 ms/s 0,5 Process /usr/bin/virtuoso-t +foreground +configfile /tmp/virtuoso_jd2710.ini +wait 97,0 µs/s 0,8 Process udisks-daemon: polling /dev/sr0 660,9 µs/s 0,5 Process ksysguardd 8,0 µs/s 0,8 Process [ksoftirqd/3] 15,7 µs/s 0,5 kWork e1000_watchdog_task 3,4 µs/s 0,5 kWork wq_barrier_func 3,2 µs/s 0,5 kWork i915_gem_retire_work_handler 170,3 µs/s 0,4 Process [btrfs-submit-1] 26,3 µs/s 0,5 kWork gen6_pm_rps_work 1,1 µs/s 0,4 kWork cfq_kick_queue 120,2 µs/s 0,4 Process kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit] 39,9 µs/s 0,4 Process /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon --sh --write-env- file=/home/martin/.gnupg/gpg-agent-info-m Indeed plasma-desktop appears in the list now, but IMHO thats almost unavoidable with it being one of the few desktop processes that were running at that time. I have seen it with 2 to about 10 events per second which doesn´t seem that much of it. That is with a picture of the day widget, customer weather widget and some CPU, memory and harddisk status widgets. So maybe thats a better measurement. The amount of events per second in plasma-desktop itself instead of the complete amount of wakeups or in relation to it. 2 to 10 events from plasma-desktop in relation to 250-400 wakeups per second doesn´t sound that much to me. Depending on the hardware you use there might be some other power related options that make sense to use. For Intel Sandybridge that is at least RC6 power saving mode for integrated graphics, but I use some other options as well. The RC6 option should make the biggest difference and is not on by default for Sandybridge in 3.2.
