There have been a lot of cases in the past where programming inadvertently damaged hardware: the recent Load_Cycle_Count kerfuffle with harddisk drives, burning-out CRT monitors with faulty Modelines, overheating laptops with covers closed and monitor and CPU not going low, etc. The fact that there was a difference indicates, at the least, seemingly more power-consumption for the same amount of work with just a different kernel. Certainly worth investigating. -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
