Rain sends HLT instructions to your CPU when it's idle. This lowers the temperature of the processor and thus assists stability on systems that typically run hot. Q: What about a FreeBSD version? A: FreeBSD (and other OSs designed to be run in a 24/7 uptime environment) enable this by default in the kernel.
