I am been thinking , this is just a idea but can we enable the kernel to be tick less for laptops when they are on battery. I don't have any laptop on me to test but if someone can test the battery on a tick less kernel versus non tick less to see if it increases battery. It would be good if we can test when it's in standby , high cpu usage and average work to see if it's a good idea to enable a tick less kernel for default when a user is on battery for laptops and perhaps even get into the embedded boards that run on battery and/or cellphones if it's a great help in increasing battery. I will also be glad to help these features into the mainline kernel if they are of use to saving battery. Cheers Nick
