* added support for ultra-low frequency idle-mode on CPUs that support
On Demand Clock Modulation
* added an option to delay lowering the frequency
* added an option to count time spent on nice processes as idle
Fixed the file mode of the example rc.d script. (PR 34564)
This also fixes PR 32835, which had already suggested all the changes I
made, but I've seen it too late. :)
nudge from Rumi Szabolcs on port-i386.
The estd daemon dynamically sets the CPU-frequency on
SpeedStep-enabled CPUs depending on current cpu-utilization. It is
written for systems running NetBSD.
Examples:
Maximize battery lifetime by limiting CPU-frequency to 1000 MHz and
switching to lower speeds fast:
estd -d -b -M 1000
Maximize performance by running at least at 1400MHz and switching to
higher speeds real fast:
estd -d -a -m 1400
