Summary: wine should not wake the cpu when idle Product: Wine Version: 1.1.7 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: madewokherd@gmail.com
Wine should not wake the cpu when it's not doing anything, at least when only builtin programs are running. Current obvious offenders are the system tray (a 2-second timer that runs no matter what) and blinking cursors. Once these are addressed, we should try to run some builtin programs with strace and see if we get any output when the programs are idle.
