Hi after upgrading to 2.6.11 doing a
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
hogs my cpu to the point that X and the mouse block for 1 second.
This is especially annoyng as for example kde battery monitor do that
every 20 secs to read battery capacity.

Is it a known bug? Is there some way to dig into it?

Thank you very much
Matteo
