Hi,
sorry for newbe question...
"Tickless" option while configuring new kernel is good only for power saving?
No other benefits?
It changes the way timer interrupts are triggered. tickless means only
on demand.
There may be scheduling benefits, but they can probably be neglected:
timer-interrupts are handled quickly, NTL cause the CPU to //wake-up and
consume more power//.
