Tuning for maximum battery life????

You dummy...

Instead of using the PERFORMANCE governor... you should have used ONDEMAND!

Your entire evaluation is suspect.

It doesn't make any difference (to consumption) plus I monitor the frequency and it runs at 800mhz all the time when idle with performance or ondemand.

If the processor is in C3 state all the time, it doesn't have any mhz at all. I can actually show the same power consumption with no governor at all when totally idle. Governors are barely useful when C3 sleep is implemented properly.

I love it how anons come visiting and throwing around terms like "dummy" when they don't know what they are talking about.

Thanks for the detailed report; it looks like you put a lot of effort into this, good job!

Still trying to decide whether I want to install gutsy on my txn...

I cant wait for those solid state drives to become reasonable in price
