Description :
Computer programs can make your computer use more power. PowerTOP is a
Linux tool that helps you find those programs that are misbehaving
while your computer is idle. The application that misbehaved the most
was the Linux kernel. However, as of version 2.6.21, the Linux kernel
went tickless, and no longer has a fixed 1000Hz timer tick. The result
(in theory) is huge power savings because the CPU stays in low power
mode for longer periods during system idle.
However... there are many things that can ruin the party, both inside
the kernel and in userspace. PowerTOP combines various sources of
information from the kernel into one convenient screen so that you can
see how well your system is doing at saving power, and which
components are the biggest problems.
