Note that on my machine, syndaemon itself shows up as waking up the kernel 50 times a second, but when syndaemon is running, "<kernel IPI> : Rescheduling interrupts" comes in at 140 times a second -- something that doesn't exist when syndaemon goes away.
When I kill syndaemon, my power usage goes down from 18.5watts to 17watts, which gives me an extra half hour of battery life. But then I can't type on my keyboard, because my mouse cursor keeps on wandering over the screen :( It seems it should be fairly routine to just select() on the keyboard and mouse, no? No need to wake up 50 times a second, and would be more responsive, especially more responsive than if it wanted to wake up only 5 times a second. -- TimC > cat ~/.signature Electromagnetic pulse received (core dumped) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
