I'm playing some more with N900, this time I'd like to use it as a alarm clock... And now I realized I can not, because system performance is so horrible with screen off that mpg123 + pulseaudio skips horribly. This is without tweaking serial parameters, so CPU is definitely not going into the idle/off modes. Loading CPU fixes the issue (I used cat /dev/zero > /dev/null). Hmm. And it seems to work better if I ssh in and launch mpg123 remotely. Weird. Kernel 4.5-rc0. Will try on different ones. Any ideas? Is there interface to tell kernel that better performance is needed for a while?
