Linux Wakeups

To satisfy an idle curiosity, I installed PowerTOP on my Zaurus to see how many wakeups a second it was doing. It started out at 112w/s, which isn't that great, but Richard told me that I should give our 2.6.24-rc8 kernel a go, because it has NO_HZ defined. To our surprise it booted, and to cut a long story short my Zaurus is currently idling at 5.4 wakeups per second, and 11% of those are about to be patched out of the kernel.

Hi,

may I ask you which Zaurus you have? Not a Collie?

Regards
Evgeni

Shouldn't that read "To satisfy a WAKING curiosity"?
