I am seeing similar results as Elias Julkunen with 2.6.26-rc7 kernel from mainline kernels. My system is an Acer 3820T-5246 with Core i3-350M (no GPU). Kernel scheduler Load balancing ticks have dropped from about 120-230 on 2.6.35.x to a range of about 11 to 28. Even with the added wakeups from kworker/0:0, /0:1, and Rescheduler interrupts, total system wakeups are down by a factor of 2 to 3. ACPI power estimates are also down from ~16W to ~12W with a similarly loaded system.
Also seeing a side bonus in stability when switching multiple screen outputs, and input lag is still present but probably improved by 60% or so. So, all in all I recommend anyone worried about wakeups try 2.6.36 at your earliest convenience. -- Tens of wakes per second in "[kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick" on Core 2 Duo even with only 1 core enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Debian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
