Title:
  rtkit-daemon canary and watchdog threads could be less busy to save
  wakeups

Status in The Ubuntu Power Consumption Project:
  New
Status in rtkit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  It seems that the rt-kitdaemon has a couple of threads that ensure
  rtkit-daemon is sane, namely a watchdog and canary monitoring thread.
  These are waking up by default every 5000ms, which between them means
  rtkit-daemon is creating  24 wakeups a minute just doing sanity
  checking.

  Apparently one can specify the canary cheep and canary watchdog times
  via --canary-cheep-msec and --canary-watchdog-msec options.  Is is
  possible to tweak these to make rtkit-daemon do less wakeups and save
  a small amount of power?
