| Description: linux tool to find out what is using power on a laptop
| PowerTOP is a Linux tool that finds the software component(s) that
| make your laptop use more power than necessary while it is idle. As of
| Linux kernel version 2.6.21, the kernel no longer has a fixed 1000Hz
| timer tick. This will (in theory) give a huge power savings because
| the CPU stays in low power mode for longer periods of time during
| system idle.
| .
| However... there are many things that can ruin the party, both inside
| the kernel and in userspace. PowerTOP combines various sources of
| information from the kernel into one convenient screen so that you can
| see how well your system is doing, and which components are the
| biggest problem.
