As of Linux kernel version 2.6.21, the kernel no longer has a fixed 1000Hz timer tick. This will (in theory) give a huge power savings because the CPU stays in low power mode for longer periods of time 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, and which components are the biggest problem. if POWERTOP config POWERTOP_PCI_SUPPORT bool prompt "pci support" help This adds powertop support for the PCI bus. Should only be enabled if you have PCI support. endif comment "BusyBox' powertop is selected!" depends on BUSYBOX_POWERTOP
