That won't save power for an application that runs forever though, which is what Evan wants (running a BOINC client). Seems like a good use-case to me; any (almost) perpetual background-task should not scale up the CPU frequency. How to implement that behaviour is up to the linux devs though... ;) -- Jan Claeys -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
