Hi
Please CC me on reply, i am not subscribed to list.
I did small test, and notice that if nmi_watchdog is enabled

The difference is huge, probably in power consumption too. Kernel is
relatively standard (2.6.24-rc6-git1), if required i can attach .config
If it is not bug, probably good to document, that it is killing powersaving
features?
