| Takyoji | Oh lord, apparently there's a test implying that 11.04 cuts battery life in half, in comparison to 10.10 | 08:37 |
|---|---|---|
| Takyoji | that's a pretty freaking big regression http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ubuntu-11.04-natty-narwhal,2943-13.html | 08:38 |
| ripps | Takyoji: this is a pretty well know kernel regression. It affects all distros using 2.6.38 or newer. They still haven't figured out what's causing it yet. | 08:40 |
| Takyoji | Know where the bug is reported at all? | 08:41 |
| ripps | Takyoji: I don't know, I've just been following it on phoronix.com | 08:41 |
| Takyoji | ahh | 08:41 |
| ripps | All that's known so far is that it seems to affect all architectures and the power increase doesn't increase performance whatsover. Last theory I heard that it might have something to how a new method on how memory is allocated in ram, but it's only a theory | 08:44 |
