I can observe a strange behaviour wrt timer wake-ups when looking at powertop:
- when running on AC, about 8 wake-ups per second.
- when running on battery, the number of wake-ups grows to about 11 and the main wake-up producers are: 23.1% ( 3.9) <kernel core> : hrtimer_start_range_ns (tick_sched_timer) 19.2% ( 3.2) <interrupt> : acpi
[ These wake-up rates refer to X running KDE4, wi-fi off (by physical switch) and no usb device connected. ]
Is this a normal behaviour?
