[NTLUG:Discuss] kapm-idled

[Josh Miller]

At first I thought it was a clean up processes.  Looking for idle taskes and 
cleaning up after them.  but rather now I bet it is the Kernel option to 
insert halt commands in idle cycles.  It may not be HALT, But the command it 
runs, actually turns the processor off when it is in an adle loop.  makes a 
big difference when you have a hot processor.  When I was in Win9x a lot, I 
used to run a utility that would insert
 this command, made a world of 
difference in my heat output.
