The thing is, after the full boot, there's too many things going on to keep a system fully idle. Little services can wake a processor up. The problem I had was that this happens on early bootup where there's not much around to wake the sleeping processor. I'm not sure if it is too much of a problem after boot up. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
