I am not Dave, so don't get mistaken :D Idle? yes, as it is read..."idle"....when your kernel gets idle? when it does nothing...and you ask again, "really, when?" "When"...well, if you brought human sense or perception, you find none. But if you put yourself into digital world which nowadays processor ticks billion times in seconds, even 1 ms or less is idle. Plus, nowadays, there is function to round up expiration time...thus idle might get longer. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
