> wonder if this stuff is polling some battery property ? > (like discharge rate or something) Is there a simple way to get a profile that starts when acpi_battery_init() is called and ends when it returns? Note that acpi_battery_init() is not 900ms on all boxes -- I had to poke around to find a slow one. My arrandale laptop runs acpi_battery_init in 71 ms. thanks, -Len -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
