well there is the swap_prefetch to consider now, not sure how that affects things.

In fact I was trying to add the swap notification patch myself, but hit some problems (kernel oops during swapon) that I haven't managed to track down yet.

Edit: I see, you didn't "find" it, you fixed it yourself - thanks! :-)

I was too busy to investigate battery problem but today I lost 20% of charge as I listened music for an hour. (quasar using mplayer).
May be it is because of Advanced sistemui made by auouymous, but I think it is Diablo turbo.

I'll address any issue you find, but you have to make a proper test, reproductible, and with both kernels to spot the difference. Please, understand that I can't test everything myself, just don't have enough time.

Anyway, I can make a test kernel with tunable polling, then we can meassure if it has any impact by leaving the device alone for some hours with and without polling after a full charge.

I'll see if I can modify the op_dsp patch to allow changes on the fly, since the current op state can be modified by writting to /sys/power/op_active even with the dsp active.

Ok, tomorrow I will make a test...
