Hi, Thanks to two new patches queued for git://git.marvell.com/orion.git idle consumption is significantly improved in my setup: 2.3W Idle with everything unpluged 3.3W Idle with gigabit ethernet 5.0W Idle with gigabit+HDD USB+serial 7.0W +100% cpu cos phi is in the 0.5 range. When cpu is loaded but not completely the power usage should also be lower but it's harder to measure in my setup. powertop 1.11 report on a mostly idle system: Cn Avg residency C0 (cpu running) ( 0.0%) C0 9.8ms ( 0.5%) C1 402.7ms (99.6%) Kernel config options to enable: CONFIG_NO_HZ=y CONFIG_TIMER_STATS=y CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_LADDER=y CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_MENU=y Also on the performance front: a native kernel compile from scratch with "Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.3" GCC takes around 50 minutes.
