2008-10-14 04:33:32 Chris Halse Rogers mono: statusexplanation Thank you for hunting that one down for me! I'll move this to Ubuntu's mono package, where it belongs. We can't do anything about it in Do.
2008-10-14 04:39:50 Chris Halse Rogers description I love Do, but I think it's waking up the processor too often. That's bad because more wakeups = increasing power consumption = global warming = reduced battery life on laptops. I'm using Do 0.6.0 (on Intrepid) and PowerTop 1.10 tells me there's always 10-20 gnome-do wakeups every second. Only Firefox has a consistently higher number of wakeups, and that's running a bunch of tabs/extensions. E.g. 11.1% ( 21.4) gnome-do : futex_wait (hrtimer_wakeup) Can the frequency of this futex wait be reduced? Or removed all together somehow? Bug initially from GNOME Do, but I've been meaning to file something like this for some time. All mono apps will show up in powertop with lines like: 11.1% ( 21.4) gnome-do : futex_wait (hrtimer_wakeup) Linked to the upstream bug report.
