Jaroslav Škarvada added the comment: The current behaviour is not good for power consumption especially with the current tickless kernels - the python processes using "threading" shows in the top of the "powertop" list (on machine tuned for low power consumption) causing 20 wakeups per second.
Also I can confirm the python3 behaves correctly (shows in the bottom of the "powertop" list). ---------- nosy: +yarda _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17748> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
