["Chad A. Davis" <524281@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is fixed in the current Natty (beta) with kernel 2.6.38-5-generic
(the stock kernel).

On Maverick I was getting several hundred wakeups per second on the
stock kernel (2.6.35-something), almost all from the load balancing
tick.

Now the load balancing tick is rarely listed in the 'top causes for
wakeups' from powertop.

This will improve your battery life, but depending on your system, you
may have other things to watch out for (e.g. disable Flash).
