I don't have terminology. and I'm looking on my screen, I don't see
anything blinking or moving, so it's hard to say.
I still have
3.43 W 49.2 ms/s 236.6 Process /usr/bin/enlightenment
I have no idea how you get yours to 13 wakeups per second.

I have a thinkpad P70, it's a big laptop with a 17" 4K screen, so it's
expected to use batteries, but I have a 99Wh battery.

Oh, you're saying an app rendering will be counted against
enlightenment?
If so, it's going to make my life harder in pinning it down.
Sounds like there is nothing obvious you can point me to, given that it
could not even be E's fault but another app that causes E wakeups.
I'll keep looking, but it sounds like it won't be easy.
Thanks for the answer,
Marc
