I don't see why you can't run powerd more frequently, I do.. Unless your ACPI has a problem that means the transition is slow. I can't imagine that doing 5 (or even 50) syscalls a second is a big CPU load unless there is a specific problem with sysctls or the cpufreq infrastructure. I run powerd like this -> /usr/sbin/powerd -i 90 -r 30 -a adaptive -b adaptive -n adaptive -p 200 -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
