pommed v1.19: reduce CPU usage
pommed v1.19 has landed, with improvements wrt CPU usage.
This is especially true for gpomme, which won’t cause 10 wakeups/sec anymore. PowerTop fans, rejoice! I plan to fix wmpomme too, but as I’m probably the sole user, this can wait.
pommed will also consume a bit less CPU, especially on machines without ambient light sensors.
The new code in pommed makes use of the timerfd API introduced in Linux 2.6.25, hence you’ll need to run a 2.6.25 kernel or later; pommed will not operate properly on earlier kernels.
