yes, this approach is valid. I've done the exact same measurements for 100HZ vs 1000HZ. For currently shipping laptops, I didn't see a significant difference.,
Note that the quality of the instrumentation on the battery can vary widely, and so if you really want the best numbers you need to start from a fully charged battery and run it until the battery dies. Also, for the most controlled experiment, you can run in single user mode with no network, no USB plugged in, and either "performance" or "powersave" governors. If you don't get into C3 on this box nearly all the time then something is wrong. cheers, -Len - 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/
