Subject: RE: high power consumption in recent kernels

Norbert,

Can you try with the no-hz ratelimit now code REMOVED, and see if 
that will reduce your system power and cpu wakeups further.
Your last testing has the no-hz ratelimit code and we will like
to compare the effect with and without the code.

Sorry for the confusion.

Tim
