the processor_idle module has a "latency_factor" module parameter.
The default is 2, but sometimes people think 6 is a better value...
.. any chance you can try that value ?

Also, I'm starting to wonder if Andi's patch to use io_schedule() needs
to be replaced with a net_schedule() kind of thing. The cpuidle code
currently has a weight factor for IO (based on measuring/experiments),
and maybe networking really needs another factor... so just having a
parallel concept with a different weight could be the right answer for
that.

btw this C2 == marketing name C3, and C3 == marketing name C6

(too many translations ;-)

we'll fix powertop to report the marketing name soon.
