Bug Description
Binary package hint: kubuntu-
Kopete has a settings for smooth scrolling in the contact list which is enabled by default.
This gimmick is implemented in such a bad way that kopete causes
almost 60 wakeups per second even if neither the contact list nor any chat
window of kopete is open.
powertop:
Top causes for wakeups:
16.9% ( 60.0) <interrupt> : radeon@
15.9% ( 56.6) kopete : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
The fix is to add
SmoothScrolling
to the [ContactList] section in
/usr/share/
After this change kopete causes only 1 wakeup per second:
0.4% ( 1.0) kopete : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
See

and

I can confirm the recommended setting change works to resolve this.
