I would like to lower the cache lifetime in the coretemp driver and am looking for real-world numbers to decide what would be a reasonable duration. I could do some experiments on my two coretemp machines, but if you already have figures available, I'm interested :) -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
